THE GENERAL MANAGER
AND SECRETARY
Sir
SSC/LW/N
I sun directed to acknowledge tiie receipt of your letter of
tne 23tii ultimo, reference PZ.3255/34, from which it has been noted
that the Secretary of State cannot, at the moment, take any action
in regard to the free importation into Persia by my Company of the
materials required for the upkeep of the wireless stations at
Bushire and Hen jam, as the present is not considered a propitious
time for approach to be made to the Persian Government. It is hoped
by my Directors that it will be possible, in the not distant future,
for steps to be taken which will relieve my Company of dues upon the
before mentioned stores.
in importing telegraph stores into Persia, my Directors request me
to express their appreciation of the action taken by His Majesty^
Minister at Tenran in addressing a note to the Persian Government
requesting on behalf of the Company a refund of Customs dues and
road taxes incorrectly levied. They also note with satisfaction the
efforts of His Majesty’s Minister to obtain the immediate release
free of duty of the two consignments of office stationery destined
for the Company’s Branches at Jask and Bushire.
My Directors will now await the result of your Department’s
latest communication to the Foreign Office. ———
With regard to the difficulties experienced by my Company
