To
The Right Hon’ble St. JOHN BRODRICK,
JLis Majesty's Secretary of State for India
Simla, the 1st June 1905.
Sir,
With reference to our Secret despatch No. 109, dated the 30th July
1903, we have the honour to forward, for your information, a copy of the corre
spondence cited in the accompanying list, regarding the Perso-Baluch Boundary
in the vicinity of Mirjawa, and the arrangement effected by Sir Arthur
Hardinge with the Persian Government, under which the right to export a
fixed quantity of grain from Seistan, Duzdap, and Eadis for the Nushki trade
route, and our posts in the vicinity of the border, has been secured.
2 . We consider that the terms in respect of export of supplies are, on
the whole, as satisfactory as could have been obtained, without indefinitely
prolonging the stay in Seistan of Colonel McMahon s escort, the withdiawal
or relief of which had become a matter of urgency. We should have
preferred to obtain recognition of the boundary between Mirjawa and Koh-i-
1904; but we recognise the difficulties which Sir A. Hardinge would have
experienced in pressing this on the Persian Government, and we trust that the
decision to observe the status quo and abandon the idea of further demarcation
will not result in future inconvenience.
