Telegram P., No. 691-S., dated the 5th June 1917.
From—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political
Department, Simla,
To—His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Shiraz (repeated to Kerman, Bushire and
Tehran).
While prepared to intern Mrs. Eoever in India, Government of India
doubt whether 1 object to be gained would be worth trouble and expense
involved, or whether the imposing of the hardship of this long journey at this
season on woman with child of two and baby in arms are warranted by the
facts of the case. Surely if straightly warned and put under surveillance, she
might remain in Shiraz without serious risk. From Zugmeyer’s diaries she
appears to be seriously compromised in eyes of her compatriots.
This is with reference to Bushire telegram 109—1013, June 2nd.
