File 3852/1912 Pt 2 'Persia. Conditions in South Persia. German Documents' [‎284r] (199/280)

I was assured that robberies had practically ceased entirely
within the field of operations of the Gendarmerie .
Of the courtesy and attention received by me personally
from the Gendarmerie (more particularly from Captain Xillander
at Abadeh) in the course of my recent journey I cannot speak
too highly, and other British travellers who traversed the road
' about the same time as myself have spoken to me in a similar
sense. I took an early opportunity of expressing to Captain
Xillander (now at Isfahan) my appreciation of the services of
the Gendarmerie, but I venture to suggest that — if you think
fit — my thanks might also be transmitted to General
Hjalmarson
I have the honour to be.
Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient,
humble servant
Sd. G. Grahame.
