dealing with it, is described in my memorandum of
april 25th.
A proposal wa§ made at the end of the
meeting, that, in view of the Government's persis
tent refusal to believe that cholera existed at Kesht
a Commission of three should be sent by the Sanitary
Council to investigate the disease, and that I should
go as bacteriologist to the Commission. It seems to
me, that the sending of such a Commission would give
the Government an opportunity for further procrastina
tion, and would cast a doubt on the strength of our
frequently stated belief that cholera does exist at
Hesnt and in the neighbourhood, as far as my taking
part in the enquiry, it seems to me, that with the
Russians so deeply interested in the matter, and with
Russian doctors on the spot or close at hand at Baku,
they should undertake the investigation promptly and
withouo hesitation. I would further point out that,
I am at present engaged in supervising sanitary im
provements in the two negations, and in the village
of Guinek.
I am,
Yours faithfully,

About this item
- Content
The volume contains part 2 of papers from and about the Tehran Sanitary Council (also referred to as the Conseil Sanitaire de l’Empire de Perse), and is a direct chronological continuation of File 2612/1912 Pt 1 ‘Tehran Sanitary Council’ (IOR/L/PS/10/283). It chiefly comprises copies of the proceedings (in French) of the 128 through to the 170 meetings of the Council, with some omissions where meetings were of a purely administrative nature. The proceedings were forwarded by the British Ambassador at Tehran (Sir Walter Beaupre Townley; Sir Charles Murray Marling) to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Sir Edward Grey), and then forwarded by the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to the Under-Secretary of State for India.
The proceedings detail reports of epidemics such as plague, cholera and malaria, occurring in Persia, with recurring reports from Bouchir [Bushire], Enzeli [Bandar-e Anzalī], Astara [Shahrestān-e Āstārā]. The proceedings also document the measures taken to implement restrictions of movement, quarantine and vaccination programmes. Also in the file are reports on the proceedings made by Dr Anthony Richard Neligan, physician at the British Legation in Tehran, and the British representative at the meetings of the Tehran Sanitary Council.
