I am not surprised to learn that the Zil retains his anti-
Bakhtiari sentiments, but it is a bit of a shock that he should
air them at Petrograd only ten days after protesting in London
that he loved them as his children. I fear very much that we
have to be prepared to see the Zil more friendly to the Russians
than to us, but we must keep the pretence of seeing in him ey
gros bonnet” enjoying and deserving equal favour fn*^
both Powers.
As to Korostovetz, Pm sorry I cant share your belief in
his sincerity »..

I have no belief in Korostovetz. Everyone here describes
him as impossible to get on with for long, the kind of man
who acts out of “cussedness” and for the pleasure of doing
what no one else would do. I knew him in Rio years ago, and
have pleasant enough memories of him there, but no one here
seems to regret his departure, least of all his own Legation!
He will not help us at the Russian Bank, and his idea of coope
ration between the Banque d’Escompte and the Imperial
Bank of Persia will merely be that the latter should share its
good business with the former, which if it were a private insti
tution would have gone bankrupt years ago ...
Yours very sincerely and with best regards to Lady
Georgina.
