(Addressed to Tehran.)
I believe no Governor can give us much material assistance unless three
competent officers, loyal to us, are sent from Tehran or Meshed to command
Persian cavalry, artillery and infantry at Birjand.
Three officers at present employed should be removed at once as they are
notoriously unsympathetic to us. This matter is very important. Is it pos
sible to send ex-Cossack or Kevenue Gendarmerie Officers?
