That sentiment would form the basis of my work here * there
would be inevitable difficulties# but I should be perfectly
frank and not hesitate to say at once when any question was
raised on which I could not meet the Persian point of view,
however much the Persian Government and I tkyseif might regret
it. Hie Majesty seemed to appreciate this statement and I
followed it up by expressing the hope that I might feel that
1 should from time to time be allowed to come and talk
matters over with Hi© Majesty. To this the £hsh replied
M X am always here”, an answer which* though perhaps not
warmly encouraging# may be worth bearing in mind*

Legation and a few more minutes conversation took place,
ending with a loud burst of laughter on the part of His
Imperial Majesty# who then withdrew.
I am sending copies of this despatch to the
Foreign Secretary to the Government of India. (No* 34b)*
X have the honour to be with the highest respect#
Sir*
Your most obedient#
humble Servant,
(Signed) H.M. Knatchbull-Hugessen.
