FUBEiaH CPFIOS,
^uly Z7th, 1917.
Dear Lir. areenway:
With regard to your letter of the 18th ultimo,
relative to the ithwaz-ispahan road, 1 write to say that
oir C. luarling has expressed the opinion that the
proposed alignment, which would bring the road n&ich
further soutti, vwuld expose it, much more than is now
the case, to attacks from the iCuhgelu tribes and that
it is doubtful Whether the dakhtiari Khans would accept
responsibility for the protection of traffic unless
some special arrangement were come to for the provision
of more efficient guards.
It is feared also that the original Jakhtiari
road concession, Which concerns a track that is oeing^
constructed and used for nearly twenty years, would
scarcely cover the new project and that a fresh con
cession or at least a large modification of the old
one would become necessary.
I need hardly assure you that we are most
anxious
wOpV
^ivate.
