tony thanks for your letter of
15th November (B.M.116Q) about
Persian armaments, tost of our
information a bout the Persian Army
is derived from the intelligence
summaries of the Military Attachb at
Tehran which we receive from the P.O.
but which are sent, I understand,

of information about military natters
(mostly droop movements) in the
various intelligence summaries and
diaries which we get from certain
consular posts in Persia but we always
send these at once to the W.O. as soon
as they are received. I fear that we
are thus not in a position to add
anything to the information in the
enclosure to your letter.
2. In considering the general state
of military preparedness of Persia it

the autumn of last year the Persian
Govt, acquired from Italy a fleet of
two sloops of 950 tons displacement
and four patrol boats of 331 tons
displacement for service in the
