Your telegram received through Mr. New. Although my illness prevents
me from being able to pen a suitable reply and my view is the same as I stated
in my letter, dated 18th instant (21th January), yet notwithstanding great
illness I cannot let your communication remain without a reply longer than
this. I have never kept German messengers with me ; I haie seen no German
messenger and I do not know any. In case such report has been received by
you it is desirable that you should specify the author of it, so that a correct
reply may be given. Mirza Syed Mohsin Khan, as long as he was here, was
recognized by me as Finance Agent, Kainat, and not as a German agent or
paid”servant. Now also, to my knowledge, he is still in the Revenue Depart

you wrote that my going to Gib with him for shooting has become a matter. of
suspicion. I would have been very grateful had I been informed how suspicion
has been engendered in this trip of mine. As to Persian troops under my
command having acted against British troops on several occasions, I. cannot
remember anything worthy of consideration having happened and being left
undeait with. If you remember any case you may kindly let me know. As
to your statement that Winckelmann has said that a month ago Wagner, a
German, went to Afghanistan via the south of Birjand. Firstly, if in reality
such a person had passed through these places, why did the British Government

received any order up to the present to arrest Germans. A week ago I asked
my Government authorities clearly for instructions, and if an order for
Germans’ arrest is received, I shall of course take energetic action to arrest
them. *
With regard to your suggestion that I should arrest a few German mes

Government affairs according to my personal inclination. I am obedient to
