Vy Lora .ftr^ueas,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Tour
Lordship 1 a express letter ??o* D»3569~K/89 of the 19th January
on the subject of the exchange of letter** and parcels between
Iran ana Bahrein*
2. Before reaching any definite conclusion in this
matter I should be grateful for further information on several
points which arc not clear to me* While these points are being
examined I see no reason, in view of the attitude of the Iranian
Government towards British passports bearing endorsements for
Bahrein ana even Kuwait, why Bahrein should not continue to
return to Bandar Abbas parcels for Bahrein which the Iranian
postal authorities send there direct, inetead of sending them
to Bombay or Karachi to be forwarded,
3* The points on which I should be grateful for
information are as follows♦-
(i) Am I to unaerstand from the first sentence of
paragraph 2 of Your lordship*?* express letter under
reference that Bahrein is considered part of India for
postal purposes ?
(ii) In his telegram No, 34 of the £7th September Sir a.
Seymour reported that the Iranian Government were
complaining about malls in general, ana not only about
parcels. The Director General of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs claimed that there had been a change in the
practice as to the *feuilles d*avis'* accompanying mails
