3. Mr. Chamberlain observes from your letter of the
11th instant (Mo. p. 3857) that pert of the remainder of the
work is now reported to be unnecessary, and that the. estimate
of two thousand two hundred and twenty seven rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf. in that
connection is cancelled. I am to enquire whether the estimate
of four thousand three hundred and thirteen rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf. referred
to in the enclosures to your letter of October 30th last
for other repairs still holds good. Should thisr be the case
the cost should, in the opinion of this department, be
#
debited against the revenue accruing to the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
Lighting Service from the levy of light dues upon shipping.
4. The original estimates.enclosed i
are returned herewith.
