In view of this and of the possibility of a Jangali coup de main &
Kazvin and Tehran as foreshadowed in penultimate paragraph of your telegram
241, please say whether you adhere to view that regulars and South Persia
Rifles should not be sent from Pars to Ispahan where they might arrive in five
weeks or so.
In your telegram No. 237 there is no mention of Sykes* views on subject
unless your request for these was included in my telegram No. 146. Please
consult him on points. It is very desirable for me to receive your renlv with
utmost possible despatch. * ^

From—His Britannic Majesty's Minister, Tehran,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Denarf-
ment, Simla. ^
Foreign Office sends following telegram, 161, March 23rd. As it is
improbable that adequate forces can reach Hamadan in near future (see my
knmediately preceding telegram) military authorities would like to send to
Hakhtiaristan via Ahwaz some of the officers and non-commissioned officers*
of the original Dunsterville mission, to raise levies from tribes and ensure
friendly attitude on their part in the event of forward movement being required
from Shiraz to Ispahan.
It is clearly undesirable that any negotiations with Bakhtiari should be
undertaken from two quarters politically. Please let me know therefore as,
soon as possible what action you may have taken recently with Khans in
Tehran or elsewhere and whether it would be desirable in your opinion to take-
above mentioned step.
Your views on general question of Bakhtiaristan are also desired.
