IIM'ED IATE
H'lM-. Tehran telegram No. ^ 206 ._
I should be grateful for instructions as to the line
I should take in connexion Fith visit of Persian Prime
Minister.
2. In particular I should be grateful to learn whether
you wish me to try to establish contact with him vrith a view
to keeping you informed of course of negotiations. This may
be difficult, for if Soviet Government wish to keep him to
themselves it looks from Sir R. Bullard*s telegrams as
though he might be reluctant to thwart them. Added com
plication is that Persian Ambassador here is a chronic
invalid and his staff though amiable are unlikely to be able
to tell me much.
Foreign Office please pass to Tehran as ray telegram No.

Other prominent correspondents include the following: His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in Tehran (Herbert Reginald Dauphin Gybbon-Monypenny; Harold Lister Farquhar), His Majesty's Ambassador in Washington (Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, referred to in the correspondence as Earl of Halifax), His Majesty's Ambassador in Moscow (Archibald Clark Kerr), and His Majesty's Ambassador in Baghdad (Hugh Stonehewer Bird).
The correspondence includes discussion of the following:
- The reported suppression by the Persian Government of the newspapers of certain political parties and unions.
- Reports that the Soviet military authorities are providing assistance to the political movement for autonomy in the north Persian region of Azerbaijan.

- The formation of a Kurdish republic at Mahabad.
- Reports of labour unrest in Persia, including strikes by employees of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
