Proposal b Xor during year 1914-15.

oir:-
I have the honour to approach you with a suggestion
with regard to the question oX my making some tours in
my consular district during the year 1914-15. As Your
Excellency is aware I have at different times during the
course of the last two years submitted to you requests
to be allowed to make short tours in my District, but it
has sometimes happened that owing to unforeseen occur
rences these particular tours, even when sanctioned, nave
been rendered impracticable or undesirable. Xhe fact is
that the best moment for the Consul to leave ohiraz
cannot always be calculated with exactitude beforehand,
and opportunities for touring must be taken advantage of
from time to time as they occur. I venture, therefore,
now to submit a general proposal for next year's tours
to Your Excellency, so that you may have time to consider
it beforehand, and, if you approve, to apply for the
necessary sanction to the Foreign office.
t
, < D-
I would propose then to make two tours, one in
the spring on somewhat the same lines as that proposed
in my despatch ho.4 dated 7th February last, and approved
and sanctioned by Your Excellency find the Foreign office;
and another in the autumn in a South Easterly direction
towards Kavar, Pasa, Jahrum, and other districts lying in
that part of Fare. I cannot make an exact estimate of
