Telegram, No. 979, dated the 17th May 1905, to Sir Arthur Hardinge, Tehran.
Your telegram of 14th May. I will send you map you ask for imme
diately after the visit to Padaha, which I propose to make on 26th May.
Telegram, dated the 22nd May 1905, from Sir Arthur Hardinge, Tehran.
Your telegram No. 979. In map showing Padaha, could you trace in
pencil present frontier between that place and Mirjawa watershed ? Persians
have now got belated suspicions that I have tricked them over Padaha, which
is really theirs.
Telegram, dated the 28th May 1905, to Sir Arthur Hardinge, Tehran.
Your telegram of 21st May, regarding Padaha. The name given to our
post, i. e., Padaha, is not, strictly speaking, correct. The place had no name,
and the new post there was called by us Padaha, to distinguish it from our
demolished post at Mirjawa. There is a better known Padaha about three
miles from Ladis and between that place and Mirjawa. Doubtless Persian
Government are mixing up our new post with that place, which of course is
well inside Persian territory. I have just visited Mirjawa, and will send map
as soon as possible.
