Sir* -
I have the honour to transmit to you* herewith* a copy
of a despatch addressed to me hy His Majesty’s Consul-General
at Isfahan in which he makes formal application for leave in May
1933 pending his retirement from the Consular service and enquires
as to the arrangements which will he made for the continuance of
the Consular post at Isfahan after his departure*
I trust that Mr# Bristow’s application for leave* which
has already formed the subject of unofficial correspondence with
your department, will receive your favourable consideration.
3# Mr# Bristow has just paid a visit to Tehran, under my
instructions, in order to discuss the future of the Consular
post# As a result of these discussions I am satisfied that the
retention of a Consulate-General is unnecessary and that it will
even be possible to dispense with the appointment of a separate
Consular officer. Mr# Bristow has confirmed my impression that
although there is a not inconsiderable amount of routine work the
post does not provide sufficient work of a responsible kind to
fill the time of an active officer#
d# I am on the other hand unwilling to recommenu the
complete abolition of the post* as I recognise the force of the
argument frequently brought forward that if circumstances were to
lead to a loosening of the control now exercised from the capital
the appointment of Consuls to many posts where their presence
is now superfluous might again become necessary#
