correspondence on the subject of the appointment of
officials at the Imperial and International Communications

the Legation, from which you will see that an official
application for these officials to be given Consular
rank would not be agreeable to the Persian Government,
It is true that this decision is not in accordance with
the renly given to an earlier unofficial enquiry, but

by the competent official of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs that there will be no objection to the oerformance
by officials of the Company of certain duties such as the
transmission of passports, passport aonlications, fees,
etcetera, to and fro between British subjects and the
nearest Consular officer. The only condition is that
these duties shall be performed in a purely private and
unofficial
