Shiraz
SeptemlDer 13th, 1932
Dear Chancery
Your No. 29/8-1 of the 2nd.
There is in Shiraz a British Indian subject
J.F. Y. Saldana who is locally known as ’•Johnny" to the
motor fraternity. At the time of Woodward f s alleged
journey Saldana was partner in a spare-parts shop,
subsequently abandoned, and one lorry. We have questioned
Saldna who we think quite genuinely has no recollection of
anyone corresponding to Woodward, for whom he arranged
transport to Isfahan.
There is no company in Shiraz named "Nissim Lalezar
Motor Transport Company" although there is a garage called
"Nissim Yousuf Garage".
Yours ever
Consulate
The Chancery,
British Legation
