otherwise I should have "been aware of it, and it would
scarcely have escaped the vigilance of both Bahrein
Agency and Delhi accountants. The fact that the
statement of my spendings you have sent me does not
shew this item of Rps.1000 on the 10th July indicates,
perhaps, that if it was paid, as it presumably was, it
would have been accounted for in the usual way, i.e.*
travelling allowance claims. Will you kindly therefore
look into these two-items in your book for me and*
confirm, to enable me to answer the query. The M.of I.
Auditor's suggestion of a double charge for this tour
would, if allowed to pass, involve me in a repayment
of the advance drawn for and expended on the tour,
which would be quite unjust.
3- Reference the item in your list Rps.1238.7.0
23*5^3 Travelling Allowance of P.R.O. 10/3 to 19/U to
Saudi Arabia. As this seems a small travelling allowance
claim for the journey will you kindly compare its details
with the itinerary which, according to my pocket diary, was
as follows:
10/3 Bahrein - A1 Khobar
10/3 - 15/3 A1 Khobar (Dhahiran)
15/3* Dhahiran to Mu'Aqala
16/3 Mu'Aqala to Riyadh
16/3 - 20/3 Riyadh
21/3 Rihadh - Uwaimid
22/3 Uwaimid - Duwadimi
23/3 Duwadimi - Dafine
214-/3 Dafine - Wadi Hama
25/3 Wadi Hama - Jedda
25/3 - 28/3 Halt Jedda
29/3 - 2A Ship Jedda to Suez
2/U Suez*- Cairo

U. Will you please inform me whether my steamship
passage when leaving my M. of I. job in Bahrein by ship for
Basra in the last week of October 13k3 was charged to the
accounts, or whether I paid it myself. In the statement
which you have sent me there is no mention of the sea passage
but there is an item on 30.10.Z|6: "Cost of Air passage and
freight on excess luggage Rps. 735/U/O." What journey is
this in respect of please?
