7th Karoh, 1932.
Sir,
I enclose herein a copy of a memorandum from the Persian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, No. 25762/710-60 of Azer 23, 1310
(15th Beoemher 1931), in whioh they agree to British Consulates
in Persia Being Brought within the scope of the Persian
Diplomatic Courier Regulations. In this connexion I now
enclose for your information and guidance :
(a) A copy of a Circular Memorandum from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, No. 15416/S.50 of 2nd September 1930,
embodying the Persian Diplomatic Courier Regulations.
(Note; Subsequent amendments thereto hare been
inserted by this Legation).
(b) A copy of a "Courier^ Passport’ 1 as used by this
Legation.
(o) A translation of a specimen visa as given to the
"Courier's Passport" by the Persian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, a visa similar in form to which Oovernors-
General and Governors may be expected to adopt.
I consider the best plan is for you to work out details
for operating a consular bag service in conjunction with those
offices with which you regularly correspond, whether Government
of India, Baghdad, other Consular posts or this Legation, bearing
in mind of course that the bags are primarily for the
transmission of secret correspondence. You will also realise
that it is not intended that a service of regular, paid couriers
should be instituted between all Consular posts, the object
being, mainly
(1) to regularise the practice, hitherto followed, of
transmitting confidential correspondence from this
Legation to Consulates or from one Consulate to another
by hand of British travellers,
His Majesty's Consular Officer
