To His Majesty's Minister, Tehran (repeated to His Majesty's Consul, Shiraz,
No. 20—69).
O’Connor’s telegram No. 7 of 8Ui January. As far as I can judge Major
Brandel and the Governor have established a satisfactory working understanding
and former’s work is proceeding well. Out of the 80 men co lected for him on
approval by the Governor he has approved 56 and is on the whole pleased with
the material. The Governor says he is prepared to get 24 more to make up
the 80. There are also 50 said to be ready waiting at Borasjun and Governor will
assist to make this number up to 150 if necessary.
Major Brandel is anxious to get these into Bushire for training and
expects to have his 200 new men complete in two or three weeks and desires
to remain here until they are ready for the road.
He points out that in case he meets with any trouble on the road it is
essential that he should have sufficient time to give his maxim detachment
sufficient training before they start.
I see no local reason to differ in any way from his proposals.
Enclosure No. 7.
Telegram No. 22—72, dated the 11th January 1913.
From—The
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
, Bushire,
To—His Majesty's Minister and His Majesty's Consul, Shiraz.
I understand from Major Brandel that he has been blamed by Command
ant for mixing himself up with local politics. He has satisfied me that his
only reason for interesting himself in the case of the local celebrity Abdul
Rasool was because he was led by his subordinates to believe that the reasons
for that individual’s detention by the Governor were directly connected with
the gendarmerie’s affairs and that since it was demonstrated to him by myselt
and others that this story was an invention of local intriguers he has disassocia
ted himself entirely from all interest in the man’s case.
If my endorsement of this statement is of any utility I heg that Your
Excellency will impart it to the proper quarter. All is now going well.
Addressed Tehran repeated Shiraz.

tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
at the disposal of
