Do you consider acquiescence of Bakhtiari Khans and readiness of the
tribesmen to participate would be sine qua non to declaration of war by Persia?
It seems to Grahame and me that this is case.
Object of enquiring is to ascertain for our guidance whether (in view of
possibility of war being declared before we can arrive at definite understanding
with Khans) it is worth while to consider now steps which it might be possible
to take in order to detach whole or part of Bakhtiari after declaration.
