Clear line To-day situation is shaping a little better. Shah received
to-dav the Russian Minister and was much less insistent on withdrawal from
Karei of troops. It would be most expeditious nevertheless in order to appease
public opinion and to (re-assure ?) Shah that a commencement of withdrawal
should be made. A moderate detachment should, however, remain since
Germans, Mujahidin, Austrians, etc., would return, if troops were withdrawn
completely before Farman Farma has situation in hand and we should revert
to situation that prevailed before their arrival in the vicinity.

About this item

Content

The volume contains correspondence regarding the Persian Campaign of the First World War and the movements and activities of the Central Powers in Persia [Iran] between June and November 1915. The correspondence is particularly concerned with German and Ottoman attempts to infiltrate Afghanistan from Persia, and of ensuring the continued neutrality of both Afghanistan and Persia.

The primary correspondents are the British Legation, Tehran; the British Embassy, Petrograd [Saint Petersburg]; the Government of India; and the Foreign Office.

The volume contains a single folio in French (f 184), a communication from the Russian Ambassador in London.

The volume includes a divider which gives the subject number, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
