15th July 1909.
Sir:-
Su r v e y., P& ri. Mf Per sia ,
Now that this Company has undertaken the development
of the supposed Oil fields of Persia it has become necessary
for it to arrange for an exhaustive geological survey.
Preparatory to this however a detailed and reliable
topographical Survey is necessary, and I cannot find that
anything of the kind has ever yet been made.
In these circumstances I venture to asK you firstly
whether there are in your Office any records of any such
Survey, and secondly whether, if there are no such records,
it is likely that the British Grovemrnent or the Government
of India would probably be willing to co-operate in such a
Survey.
I do not know whether either of the Governments is
anxious for a reliable and detailed topographical Survey of
Western or of any part of Persia, but if either is, or botn
are
The Under Secretary of State,
Foreign Office.
