D.O.No• 6A/1208. Bahrain, July 2, 1941.

Dear Alban,
With reference to your D.O. C/699 dated 1st July.
I will'write to Ingrams and ask him whether he
could suggest anyone.
Zanzibar is such a small place that I am doubtful
whether they could spare a man to come here but I would
be grateful if Colonel Prior would enquire from the

Resident there.
I think the Sudan is the most likely place in which
a suitable man might be found and I suggest that enquiries
might be made from-the Sudan authorities.
His Highness has already approved of the employ­
ment of a legal expert to prepare a code for the Bahrain

Courts and I am sure he would apjprove of obtaining such
a person from either Zanzibar or the Sudan.
I will try and obtain copies of the Sudan Civil
Code.
'rours sincerely,
Sd. • .C. Dalrymple Belgrave.

Major R.G.13.W, Alban, O.B.K.,
H.B.M's Political Agent,
Bahrain.
