ment have always endeavoured to support to the utmost the efforts of Your High
ness’s cabinet on the one hand to restore order and security in the interior of the
country, and on the other to maintain a policy of close co-operation between the
Persian and British Governments.
As further evidence of the good-will by which the Cabinet of London, is
inspired, I am now authorised to inform Your Highness that, in the event of the
agreement regarding projects of reforms which your Government contemplates
introducing in Persia being concluded, His Britannic Majesty’s Government will
be prepared in due course to co-operate with the Persian Government with a view
to the realisation of the following desiderata :—
(1) The revision of the treaties actually in force between the two Powers.
(2) The claim of Persia to compensation for material damage suffered at the
hands of other belligerents.
(3) The rectification of the frontier of Persia at the points where it is agreed
upon by the parties to be justifiable.
The precise manner, time and means to be chosen for pursuing these aims
shall be discussed, as soon as practicable, by the two Governments.
I have, etc.,

Sir P. Cox to His Highness Vossuq-ed-Dowleh.
British Legation,
Tehran ;
9th August 1919.
Your Highness,
With reference to the second desideratum indicated in my previous letter of
to-day’s date, it is understood and agreed between the two Governments reci
procally that, on the one hand, His Majesty’s Government will not claim from
the Government of His Majesty the Shah the cost of the maintenance of British
troops which His Majesty’s Government were obliged to send to Persia owing to
Persia’s want of power to defend her neutrality, and that on the other hand the
Persian Government will not claim from the British Government an indemnity
for any damage which may have been caused by the said troops during their pres
ence in Persian territory.
