With reference to previous correspondence respect
ing the attack on Lieutenant-Colonel Douglas and Cap
tain Lorimer by the Direkwand Lurs I am directed by Se
cretary Sir E. Grey to transmit herewith, for the in
formation of Mr. Secretary Morley, copies of telegra
phic correspondence with His Majesty*s Minister at Teh
ran on the subject of the recovery from the Persian
Government of Two thousand Pounds as compensation for
the outrage.
In view of the apparent inability of the latter to
meet this claim I am to enquire whether in Mr. Morley's
opinion it would be desirable to recover the amount by
withholding payment of the Jask royalty.
I am
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant
a Under Secretary of state
India Office
