Wher. x was off’erod thQ post of* Bahrein it went very strongly
against my inclinations to accept it and I only did so an a
definite and clear understanding from Sir Arnold Wilson.
Firstly I asked that I should remain under the mesopotamian
administration and secondly that I should be employed under the
-«>aine financial conditions.
To these requests of mine Sir Arnold Wilson agreed and stated
further that I should receive in addition to my salary the local
to
and sumptuary allowances attached the post.
Not only was I clearly entitled to ration allowance but my
predessor who was in the Indian Political drew rations during
his tenure of Bahrein.
I do not see therefore with what justice the above agreement is noi
now held to be invalid.
But I have yet stronger grounds for my plea. N

In December 1918 Sir Arnold Wilson telegraphed to me stating that
the Government of India had asked if I would accept appointment
to the Political Department of the Indian service.
I replied that under no conditions did I desire to be thansferred.
In reply to my request I received a telegram from Sir Arnold
Wilson to the following effect
M Have replied to the Government of India in the sense
desired by you ”
To my astonishment I was later informed that I was gazetted to the
Indian Political.
I would ask you,Sir,to be good enough to test my case and to ask
the Government of India to produce any correcpcndence adressedto
