Dear Mr. Lucas,
With reference to the correspondence of the Bahrein
Petroleum Company, Bahrein Island and its Head Office in
New York, would it be possible for an arrangement to be
made for this corresppndence to be forwarded by Bag, as it
contains much information which would be of use to the energy,
such as statements of Crude Oil Production, detailed Stock
Reports and movements of tankers still on the water. (I
attach Lagos 00211/43 and 00212/43 as samples.)
As I explained to you on the telephone, for over six
months., regular air mail communications between the Company^
Bahrein and New York Offices have been transitting Lagos.
The Chief Censor there has been picking out such communications
and handing them over to the American Consul-G-eneral for
forwarding in his Bag.
The despatch of this correspondence by Bag from the
Persian Gulk to* London and thence, again by Bag, to New York
should not delay it unduly. In any case it would seem of
greater importance for it to go by the safest route.
We should be most grateful for your co-operation in this
matter.
Yours sincerely
p.p. I.H,
A. J. Lucas Esq.. ,
