I shell be fratsfial if you ^ill let ms kviow the reason of not
fronting, a 2nd, class ynssage to my son abovonamad,.inspite of Lis
stoittimg s letter stated abere ,vrni«h was presented in your ef^ioes
©n 11-3-1942,ant the same was accepted and the passar^ eas promised«
larlutdThe said. Bharat 1 fre<iue'ntiy then called for the
p&sss.fe^was asaui'od t@ he ri^en when 2nd, class Berth ay a 11 able , till
at last on the 28th,April 1942 he was finally informed that the passage
will rot he iscmeudi© he atonce desiren to purchase the Ticket on
payment,but he was replied that all the 2nd,class passages have had
been despesed ,a-ul so he will be granted HECK CLASS pas sag's.
As my con Bharat m oprani was tired of awaiting passage fer
a month and a half,and whereas he saw that the promise given td him
had failed,he hai no ot^er oj.tnmativs than to surrender unwillingly,
bo he hao to buy th« HECK CLASS passage on 28-4-1942,which
he could have availed by the first steamer which in-of yours on 20-3-1942
and 2 more steamers followed then .So prg.n • ioally faster '^’harat fr- oprc.nl
bad t© suffer, I hereby regret that the Muscat Agents* letter was reject*
-ed,at a last moment # which T object,
I have come to know that you have issued 2nd, class passages
to others,between 1 .‘5/3/1942 s-d 28/4/1942.1 her to y lea that when
such passages were available on payment of the frieght money .Master
Bharat n«.y have been offered for ss/r©, in pref orence, s.s he had applied
earlier to tlieip. .and that long before.He vr.s then surely pleased to
pure base cue for himself, that preference was also rot given to him*
So this is a. sac- fate for him,because he rtlieri on a letter
gi*anted to him in good faith*
The abovementioned Muscat Agents 5 letter Me.BI/55 in question
remains with you.uK.oH plooce confirm arid oblige, Best of the matter
will be communicated after your reply to this let her, is received*
In c one lues ion let me say that in thdst hal'd days , I know that
you have to attend to much more partiqu'Ur dug n in.es s .but by and by let tj.
request you for a bet ter eons ider at ien, t he. t is to say to either cancell
all the free accorneastions, or t© fulfil them*and to issue passages in
turn*
Thanking you in anticipation, l am very faithfully 'v^tyu/v^> /
