With reference to your letter No. 656/XII/B-12 dated
the 26th April 1939 I have the honour to state that the Posts

It is presumed that the land on which the buildings of this
l
Department stand was given to the late Indo-European Telegraph
Department many year-%'^go, but there is nothing on record to
show whether any conditions were imposed. It may be mentioned
that the main Post and Telegraphs Office building at Gwadur
was erected in the year 1864.
2. I shall, therefore, be obliged if the records of your
office are got examined with a view to trace the grant from
the Hu scat Government permitting the use of the land and
$
delimiting the boundary, and forward for my" ; information copies
of any correspondence on the subject which may be available.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
for Director.
