Telegram’“ R ”, No. 36, dated 9th (received 10th) May 1914.
From—His Majesty’s Consul, Kerman,
To—His Majesty’s Minister, Tehran. (Repeated Resident, Bushire, No. 85.)
My telegram 24 and your telegram 22.
Mirza Ibrahim Khan has just turned up in Kerman.
I taxed Lecoffre with it. He replied Mornard had never sent him any orders
that Ibrahim Khan should not be in Kerman after Sirdar Muhtasham s arrival and
he apparently put no value on message which I conveyed to him from Legation.
He said he absolutely required him in order to get certain information from im.
Sirdar Muhtasham who was present behaved very well and only insisted that he
should leave Kerman with least possible delay.
Ibrahim Khan called on me to-day and said that Lecoffre wrote to him that
week to delay his return he, Lecoffre, should arrange matters in Kerman and
then a week ago suddenly summoned him to come in. He also averred that
Lecoffre had told him he had no orders from Mornard to turn him out.
I have repeatedly reminded Lecoffre who has kept fatuously telling me that
he could not get into communication with him.
I shall take an early opportunity to tell him that if he distrusted Your
Excellency’s message which I transmitted to him he should have at once address
ed Mornard on the subject and that games of this kind are calculated to bring
his career to a speedy termination.
