India a email establishment whose cost would be de
frayed. My Company would also pay the travelling
expenses of the party to and from the Country to be
surveyed, and would provide tents and carriage for
the party while there. The Survey at present re
quired is Triangulation only, and in accordance with
the last paragraph of your letter now under reply
we have decided to abandon the idea of a scale of
6" to the mile and to adopt a scale of either 1" or
2" to the mile as may be settled on the spot between
our Representatives in Persia and Mr. Tate, if we
are able to secure Mr. Tate’s services. Inasmuch
as the cold weather is already well advanced, as the
Christmas and New Year holidays in India are immin
ent, and as it is very important that as much of
the Triangulation measurements as possible should
be completed during this cold weather, I shall es
teem it a very great favour if you can cause a tele
gram to the above effect to be sent to India as
quickly as possible.
I have &c.,

Vice Chairman.
