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.
