< It should be kept very very confidential.
You know very well of course how Germany and Austria have made
progress. Bussia has been finished and is totally without ammunition.
Turkey has made and is making fresh progress in the Caucasus.
The matter is this that there have been conversations between the German
Legation in Tehran and myself in order to check the development of the fresh
plan of these men (the English) in the Kuhgiluyeh and Behbehan by means of
the traitors. It is very likely that through my introduction a telegram may
be sent to you by the German Legation, giving you instructions to send them
daily reports through me. Of course according to the instructions, you should
enter into correspondence and communication with the Khans of the Kuh
giluyeh and incite and induce them on behalf of the German Government,
lou should also hold out every sort of promise. The other fellow, your friend
Haji Saiyid Agha Muin-ut-Tujjar, the Besidency news-

them promises but his promises are all false and yours are correct, and are
not baseless. In Tehran the German Legation and 1 are ready and will afford
every assistance for the furtherance of your object. You should most
eneigeticaliy proceed with your work which embraces the welfare of both

of their object, it is the same thing as you have written. ^
