Hi i. ib^i
In reply to your letter No.P.8970 of the 3rd. ultimo,
regarding the cost of the replacement of the Bushire-Shiraz
telegraph line, I am directed by Earl Curzon of Kedleston to
state that His Lordship agrees with Mr.Secretary Montagu
that the acceptance by the Persian Government of financial
responsibility for reconstruction of part of the Arabistan
telegraph lines does not form a satisfactory basis for the
presentation of a claim in regard to the Bushire-Shiraz line.
2. Lord Curzon is prepared to telegraph accordingly
to His Majesty’s Minister at Tehran on the understanding
that such a step will not involve the claim from your
Department of a moiety of the expenditure involved for
payment out of Imperial Revenues.
I am,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
CUcSr
