You will remember the private and personal correspondence
which took place between Hugessen and the Foreign Office
while I was on leave on this subject. Hugessen told me
that although the matter had not again been referred to
by the Persians, he thought it most unlikely that they would
acquiesce indefinitely in Daly f s remaining at Meshed, and
therefore thought that from the point of view of general
relations it would be wise to move him when an opportunity
occurred, but not just at present. I am examining the
question further, but do not think that it will be at all
easy to shift Daly from Persia, where almost his entire
service has been spent, so that he is hardly qualified
for employment elsewhere.

Residency
