Evidence is accumulating here that rebellious Khans were all along
acting with conoivance and probably secret support of Soulet and I am
informed that when party conveying O’Connor from Shiraz passed within six
(miles from ?) Soulet’s camp he made no movement to rescue prisoners. His
attitude at present is ambiguous and unsatisfactory and, although 1 am quite
satisfied he will not take any action against us, I fear that it would be useless
to expect any kind of co-operation from him against rebellious Khans.
Addiessed to Foreign Office, Eondon; repeated to Basrah and Bushire.
