The G*ChC. immediately replied that he
could of his own initiative guarantee the continued
supply of water to our buildings & permission to draw
water for Qileh Safid by camel* but that tne question
of putting small pipe would require the sanction of
his Government, but that if the matter be referred to
him he would support all the proposed arrangements.
Kow that traffic on the road between Mirjawa
& Kundi is likely to increase greatly & will include
the regular carriage of mails etc I would suggest
that the former Levy post of <iileh Safid should be
reoccupied, as the road is at present very poorly
guarded A: for a considerable distance is within easy
reach of raiding parties from Afghanistan. It was
because of the possibility of our reoccupying ^ileh
Safid, that I thought it prudent to include its water
supply in the conditions of our possible gift of the
v^ter pipes to the Persians.
In the agreement regarding the boundary
at Mirjawa made in 1905 one of the clauses had been
that the post at Pad aha (wnich is presumably another
name for Qileh Safid) should be permitted to draw water
at Mirjawa.
If my proposals meet with the approval of
the Government of India, I would suggest that His
Majesty^ Charge d» Affaires at Tehran, might be asked
to obtain the concurrence of the Persian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs to the proposed arrangements at Mirjawa,
since a purely local arrangement might be disputed at
some future date. Doubtless the G.O.C. will have
reported our conversation & supported the proposals.
On receipt of the Persian Governments consent
