It contains correspondence discussing the internal affairs of Persia from a British perspective, as relayed to the Foreign Office by His Majesty's Ambassador in Tehran (Sir Reader William Bullard).

- The administration of the ex-Shah's [Reza Shah Pahlavi] estates.
- Proposed subjects for British and Government of India propaganda directed towards Persia, such as the position of the new Shah and the benefits of abolishing conscription.
