of a note I have received froa the Acting Minister for Foreign
Affairs enclosing a summons for service on a certain Khurshid,
son of Ghulam, at present resident in Koweit, together with a
translation of the summons. The enclosures to the note have “been
transmitted in original to the

himself to let him know that there was a criminal charge pending
against him in Persia - though I have no doubt he is well enough
aware of this,
