Treaty felicitations have given me opportunity to arrange
frank talk with my Soviet colleague and General Melnik at which
I suggested v/ays of improving our contacts, civil and military.
Both responded heartily and amongst results is an invitation to
General Officer Commanding of Tenth Army to visit Tabriz
(by plane if so desired) for a few days between 20th June and
30th June. General said that apart from any instructions he
may receive he has points about [grp. unde.j for discussion and
in any case he will be glad to make personal contact with the
General Officer Commanding of neighbouring British Army.
2 . I hope similar gesture may be made in return.
3. 1 made it clear that I was acting on my own initiative
and had no instructions to suggest these visits, but the
General liked the idea nevertheless.
4-. The General said that he was sorry that two senior
officers had been received by the Lieutenant only at Ushnu
recently. He had no information of their visit until a week
later. Had he been informed he would have been glad to
receive them in person in [grp. unde.] Rezaieh (see my
telegram No. 71 ).
5. Apart from this, the General made no mention of
recent gate-crash and if it had made any unfavourable impression
the treaty seems to have erased it. [Grp. unde. ? I think]
[grp. unde.] good chance to make fresh start and if matter is
well handled during the General Officer Commanding^ visit it
may be possible to follow up with other visits useful to both
sides.
6 . I shall be glad to know as soon as possible whether
the General Officer Commardincr nncemts, for which dates, and who
will accompany him. My house is still largely unfurnished
but I shall be glad to accommodate them.
