Sir,
His Majesty’s Consul-General at Baghdad has forwarded me your letter to him.
No. 1905-C. of the 29th ultimo, relative to the proposed postal service from Basrah
to Ojair.
The question formed the subject of correspondence between this Consulate,
the Government of India and His Majesty’s Embassy at Constantinople in 1905,
and I am now referring your letter and enclosures to His Majesty’s Ambassador
for consideration. I think it will be necessary to consult the Minister of Posts at
Constantinople before any formal arrangement can be made for the purpose with
the Indian Post Office.
On receipt of His Majesty’s Ambassador’s reply I will communicate my obser
vations through the British Resident in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.

the matter.
I have, etc.,
• (Sd.) F. E. CROW.
Telegram, dated 23 rd September 1910 .
From—Hia Majesty’s Ambassador, Constantinople,
To—The Consul, Basrah.
In reply to your despatch No. 52 of August 27, 1910, I have no objection to
the proposed arrangement, but it would be better that the Vali of Basrah should
himself apply to the Ministry at Constantinople for the necessary authorization.
Pray inform me of the date and number of the Vali’s application here and we
will then follow up the matter unofficially at Constantinople.
