May 1 ask tor your assistance in this connection ?
A copy, an authenticated copy l understand, of the Persian original is filed in the
chancery of IIis Majesty s Legation at Tehran. Do you happen to have in your Office
a translation sent home from there a translation made independently of the one that
we have here ? J
If you have, will you allow me to see it ?
If you have not, ma\ I ask of you the favour that in one of your early letters
you request His Majesty’s legation in Tehran to have such a translation made (if it has
not been already made) and a copy sent home to you for us ?
I shall of course be glad to repay any expense that this may involve.
