Secret,

I enclose a copy of a demi-official letter which

has sent to the
Secretary to the Government of India, External Affairs
Department, on the subject of his recent visit to Bushire.
The more friendly atmosphere of which Prior was
conscious covers more or less the whole of Persia at the
present moment, and is quite noticeable in Tehran. But I
think it would be dangerous to accept as correct the deduction
in the eighth paragraph of Prior 1 s letter. This paragraph
reads:
It is interesting to look back over the years and see
how little they have affected our position. The
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
still unquestionably has very great
influence, and we have less to complain of at present
than our colleagues elsewhere in Persia.
The Shah is being more amiable at present, and causing his
officials to be more amiable, because the opposition between
Germany and Russia which gave him a feeling of security has
gone and he hopes that in the last resort Great Britain and
France will help him. Also he is looking to Great Britain
and to India to take the place of Germany in his economic
system. And, finally, His Majesty's Government have granted
him a credit of five millions. But it would, I think, be
rash to suppose that this good humour will necessarily
outlast/
