Masliat letter of 1st November 20^2.
Revision of establishment is clearly necessary in order to
make new arrangements effective and to kee|3 them so and
admit of withdrawal of garrison.
I agree as to proposed extra Assistant Resident and
additional clerk.
In addition 1 recommend that a junior officer be
experimantally appointed Assistant Political Agent for a
year. He would assist P.A. and hold charge in his absence.
Hew arrangements will throw much additional work on
Political Agent and at all events for next two or three
year$ I consider that we must strengthen his hands on above
lines. It has for some time been clear that Maskat needed
overhauling and now that we have an officer ready and able
to do it . I trust that (Jovemment of India will see
their way to co-operate.
I can probably provide all personnel required
