2. On receipt of your letter No. B. Gr. 5/1 of 27 th February,
I took up the matter with His Highness- the Sultan on my next
visit to Ehodar in the last week of April*

boundary fence as proposed. His Highness declared that he
considered the area required was unnecessarily large but that

erection of a fence around the post office buildings to
enclose ground the amount of which was in my opinion reason

nis Representative at Muscat to issue the necessary instruc

write any letter as the Muscat authorities declare they have
no instructions in the matter and without these they are un

October and since it will not be possible to get into
communia t ion with him before that
fence must be postponed until then.

tions to the Postmaster to commence work on enclosing an
area of ground by a fence before formal sanction was obitained
