Dear Mr. Eger,
# The person you knew personally in Meshed and then in the attack at
Turshiz is leader of the German Military undertaking in Persia eastern
countries.
I have control over all persons liable for military service; I have stopped
your recall as you are able to render us more valuable services where you are.
An expedition to Afghanistan is about to start; soon members of it will enter
into communication with you. They are to he provided with all new r s they
may desire and to be given every possible help—financial assistance, at present
in small sums only—other questions refer to me. Confidential person is
Nurullah Khan who possesses a common code with me. The leader of the
j part expedition vid Meshed is Herr Paschen^ * who will shortly stay with the
robber Muhammad QurshabadI For me it is of the greatest importance to be
kept posted regularly of all events having the slightest political or military
significance in the Khorasan and. Frontier countries. Important matters must
be telegraphed, for this you can conveniently demand and employ the code with
Herr Paschen. Important are reports of general situation, movements of
Russian and English troops and survey a nee of the Afghan frontier. You
yourself might explore out the elements in our favour perhaps cautiously
link up connection with Afghanistan and ascertain the feeling oJLthe present
Emir in Herat . we need very soon reliable new T s on this point. All expenses to
my charge. Your service will be recognised as military service. Some of
my names are—Husain Khan, Mohd., Huber and Menard. Covering addresses
for Tehran and Ispahan you can enquire from Nurullah or choose them
yourself.
