. It is quite clear to my mind that Mr. Hoyland
would be fully entitled to object to the presence of these
people in his house and garden.
It was decided to abolish the Consulate#
General at Isfahan and maintain a full Consulate at Shiraz
because Shiraz a potentially important political centre.
That being the case I hold with insistenoe that the utmost
that His Majesty’s Consul can be asked to do is to place his
house either for two short periods of about a fortnight «*£
at the beginning and end of the summer or for one rather
longer period in the middle of the summer at the disposal
of Colonel tfowle and hia family. I cannot possibly
subscribe - and I do not believe that Colonei Fowle would
advance the pretension - to any i^eory that His Majesty’s
Consul in an important region of Persia is called upon
regularly to vacate his post in order that His Majesty's
Consul-General at Bushire may establish himself there for a
few months.
With regard to the 'recess" of the Political
Resident, if it merely means a prolonged escape from the
rigours of the summer, it is obvious that Isfahan is just
as suitable as Shiraz especially as it can be regarded as
certain that the Minister here will always entertain the
hope that the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
