IMPERIAL BANK OF PEESIA,
ABCHURCH LANE,
LCNION, E.C.
31st ivlarcn,
1916.
Dear Mr. Oliphant:-
It may interest you to see the two papers
which I enclose, viz.
1. Copy of an account of the looting of our
Bank at Yezd.
copy of a letter from our Manager at
Bushire, dated 27th February, giving news of our
Branch at Shiraz.
Now that Isfahan has been occupied by the
Russians, Mr. wood has directed the Bank officials
to return there with the British Consul, and to
report on the position. We shall therefore be
faced very shortly with the question of re-opening
this important branch, and I need hardly say that it
will greatly help us to arrive at a decision if we
can receive from Government a reply to our appeal
for assistance. Isfahan, as you know, is the place
where our losses are likely to be the greatest,
though we still have hopes that the Reserve Notes
may not have been ma.de away with.
Believe me, etc.,
(Signed) H. S. Barnes.
L. Oliphant, Esq.,
Foreign Office.
