"ملف 1/29‎ I رئيس الكتاب" [و‎‎١‎٣‎٤] (٤٣٦/٢٨٤)

Copy of a letter dated the 24th September from the Treasury
Officer. Muscat to K.S, Mirza Ismail,
Many thanks for your letter of 9th September,
I have not received your previous letter which you say
you sent me in reply to my letter of August 2nd, I don»t
know what nappened to it.
In view of what you say I am unable to suggest anything
whichmay be helpful to you, I Know you very well and can
never think of you making use of funds kept with you in
trust but that is not sufficient to save you from the unfor
tunate laibility in which you have been involved due to your
own carelessness. It is qui teat evident from the receipt that
the amount was received by you and its no mention in the
Deposit Register which is kept by the Treasury Officer shows
that it was never paid to the Treasury Officer. Moreover you
paid 50 dollars to one of the creditors after the amount
was received by you which shows you had funds belonging to t
the Estate with you. tfhat happened later on is not clear.
All the creditors except the one whose receipt of ^ 50/-
is one the file say that they did not receive any payment
from the Bstate although they had approached you on several
occasions, as some of them are respectable merchants it is
not possible to diabexieve them, if you cannot recollect
anything about the disposal of the money in question nothing
can be done. Can't you remamber whether you had any dollars
left with you when you left Muscat and if so it would be
easy to come to the conclusion that you had those dollars
on account of some Estate. If not you will no doubt
remember that happened to $ 460/- which is a big amount
and as dollars are not current for our office use they
could not have been used for amy other purpose. What you
say about carrying out Political Agents instructions
without their written orders as far as it concerns money
matters will not be acceptable.
