(No. 459.) Tehran, August 17, 1912, 9T0 p.m.
YOUR telegram No. 492
I have little to add to my telegram No. 405 . The only way in
which revenues of the Zil-es-Sultan family’s possessions could he improved would be
by the appointment of an impartial Governor-General to Ispahan. An opportunity of
securing this may occur soon, as the present Baklitiari holder must go.
Both my Russian colleague and I are agreed that we ought to oppose the
appointment of a Bakhtiari if one is suggested for the post.
