Idea seems to me excellent and Governor-General warmly approves.
Hishmat personally impressed me favourably and seems to have done we a
Bam and Lecoffre, whom I have not consulted in the present connection, has
praised him to me. If you know nothing against him l would suggest reterence
to Persian Government without delay.
Enclosure 6.
Telegram R, No. 96, dated nth (received 12th) July 1913.
From—His Majesty’s Consul, Kerman,
To—His Britannic Majesty’s Minister, Tehran. (Repeated Resident, Bushire,
No. 132 ).
Your telegram No. 62.
There is little doubt that Governor-General has lined his pockets at expense
of Rashid Sultan and 4 or 5 other Sirjan recalcitrants. He is said to have sent
the spoils to Anar. Whether this has been done to the prejudice of revenue
collection I cannot say certainly. I hear of no harsh treatment of ordinary
population and I regard Governor-General as a probable offender against the
Government and the Finance Department, but not the population of the province.
I should be obliged if you could send me 5 or 6 names of the signatories as
I lack a starting point for enquiries regarding the petition.
Ibrahim Khan I believe is leaving Sirjan ostensibly for revenue purposes,
but probably also to get Hussein Khan affair into his hands, vide my telegram
No. 90. Latter is said to be merely revenue defaulter and, I am informed,
wants to take bast in this Consulate and arrange settlement, but I have not as
yet been approached on the subject.
Enclosure 7.
Telegram R., No. 97, dated 12th (received 13th) July 1913.
From—His Majesty’s Consul, Kerman,
To—His Britannic Majesty’s Minister, Tehran. (Repeated Resident, Bushire,
No. 123).
* Enclosure 2. My telegram* No. 89-118.
Thinking opposition is from town people Itimad has reached Anar on his
way here. He has admitted having received from the Minister of the Interior
orders to halt and Amir has telegraphed repeatedly in same sense.
I would suggest orders be issued by Persian Government in its own interests
for his immediate arrest if he approaches Kerman.
