9thr
Aga Khan informs me that Zil~es~Sultan has re
ceived a telegram from Persian Minister for Foreign
Affairs offering to arrange his journey through
Austria and he would prefer that route provided His
Majesty's Government and Russian Government approve,
Persian Minister who asked not to he mentioned has * e~
ceived a similar telegram and presuming that His
Majesty's Government will not approve (?is) ready to
discountenance idea discreetly and asks for views.
Aga Khan explains that two to three hundred
thousand francs asked for travelling expenses include
payment of small debts etc. to enable Zil-es-Sultan
to leave France honourably. Million francs for pro
perty in Persia-is chiefly for jewellery and Aga Khan
states, as proof that sum is not excessive, that his
mother's share of Zil-es-Sultan sister's share was
sold by him in Paris in a lump in 1902 for 800,000
francs •.
