After Compliments,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter dated the 17th April 1935 equivalent to 13th
Muharram 1354, the contents of which I have duly noted.
Reference Your Honour's advice that it would be in
my Interests to grant the concession to a Conqpany like the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company. I am very thankful to you for
your valuable advice, and wish to inform you that I have
always done fcy my best in order to pave the way for an
agreement with this Company. Hence I have been negotiat
ing with them for all this long period. Moreover I like
them ftn ri prefer them to all (other) Companies. I have
been as accommodating to them as far as possible. I am
still regotiating with them andhope that we will come to
an agreement, unless I find that they will not give me
my rights and be unfair with me, in which case I would
naturally refuse to accept terms which are less
than what I am entitled to or which are of loss and harm
to me. ' I would be within my rights to protect my
rights and lose nothing of them and at the same time
choose what would be in my interests and in that of
my country. Ho doubt one knows his own affairs best.
Usual Ending.
