acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th
instant, 19507, relative to the question of the
provision of funds for the use of the Kussian
troops in Persia, and to state, in reply, that he
approves of the proposals which the Lords
uoninissioners of His Majesty's Treasury intend to
make to the kussian Financial Agent in uondon on the
subject.
Before conveying this approval to Their
Lordships Lord Grey has considered it desirable to
obtain a formal assurance from the Imperial Bank of
Persia to the effect that they would be able to
supply funds in Tehran to the extent contemplated
in the proposed arrangement, and copies of the
correspondence exchanged with the Bank are enclosed,
herein, for Their Lordships' information.
Their Lordships will observe that, in convey
ing the substance of your letter under reply to the
Imperial Bank, Lord Grey considered it desirable to
modify the paragraph in which it was suggested that
the Bank should have the right of suspending the
arrangement in the event of there being any inter
ference in the receipt of silver despatched to
Tehran
The secretary
