I attach a copy of a telegram dated 1st May
from the Director at Teheran from which it will be
seen that Sir P.Sykes desires the removal of Dr.P.Woollatt
from Shiraz in the interests of Government, Dr.Woollatt
having behaved in an insubordinate manner to Sir P.Sykes.
It will be recollected that Dr.Woollatt was, at Sir P.
Sykes ; instance, recently granted a temporary commission
in the Indian Medical Service by the Government of India
and,in the absence of information as to whether
Dr.Woollatt’s resignation has been accepted by Sir P.Sykes
with the knowledge and consent of the Government of
thL
India,it seems doubtful whether the latter had.power
' ft
to return him to this Department without the consent
of that Government. I am not therefore sure whether
I should without it,be in order in accepting jurisdiction
over Dr.Woollatt. I suggest therefore that the
Government of India might be asked whether Sir P.Sykes’
action has their approval and if so whether Dr.Woollatt’s
services may be considered to have been replaced at the
disposal of this Department. if they agree / 1 propose
to transfer Dr.Woollatt to Ispahan pending the receipt
of Sir P.Sykes’ report and of Dr.Woollatt’s explanation.
