to Turbaf 8 lalKe ^ In that they had started on their return journey
Minister remarked that he was rather doubtful of Maximov’s assistant de
Beauvais and that Maximov himself had asked Minister to take him awav
luit said he had not the least reason to think that Maximov had any
.DoJshevik sympathies. J

arrival there.
Maximov is well known here and also at Turbat and is presumably same
mnn ns was denounced by Kashgar Mission as being Bolshevik agent \vide
your 77058—(M. O. 1 ), September 25tb.]
His presence officially at Askabad where be will learn everything we do or
suggest seems very undesirable so long as there is slightest doubt regarding
him. What steps do you advise ? o a t.
As my information is secret it will be difficult to show knowledge of this
appointment.
Tehran can say whether or not Maximov is leaving.
