la) The 3hiraz Consulate though originally buit
as summer quarters for the Resident from Government of India
funds, and kept in repair from the same source, is at present
occupied by a Foreign Office Consular official; i.e. Consul,
Shiraz. The Resident and staff therefore, unlike all other
British Officers in the Gulf who proceed on hot weather —^
recess, generally remain in Bushire because they have no
convenient accommodation in Shiraz, where officially they are
supposed to go on recess. I was glad to see from your letter
that the Government of India agree with me that it is most
necessary for the Resident to have some recess quarters.
lb) If my proposal were adopted of substituting j
for Consul,Shiraz, a Consular Agent, the latter would live in
the town and leave the Consulate free for the Resident.
!c) This year as the Consulate is not available
for my recess I propose trying to hire a house and garden in
Shiraz as a predecessor of mine - Haworth - did some years
ago. The house and garden will of course not be nearly as
suitable or comfortable as the Consulate, and its hire will bf
an additional expense to the Government of India.
Id) As Hoare points out, some expense will have -*
to be incurred in keeping up the Ispahan Consulate. This
expense will presumably only serve the purpose of housing the
Consul, Ihiraz, on his occasional visits. The same expense
incurred for Chiraz will provide not only for occasional visi'^
/•
of the Resident - in his consular capacity - but also for
providing him with summer recess quarters.
Ie) If a Consular Agent were substituted for a
Consul at Shiraz, presumably Shiraz would automatically come
