Dear Rawlitts,
j , ■; j O
WitH reference to yoiir telephonic raeesage last v/eek,
I would ask you to rjsftw-to Lord Faringdon's letter of the
15th July last to Mr. Matthew.
It wasn> ade quite clear there that we had no intention
of sending to Mesopotamia anything like an official"mission .
All we requested was authority for two or three business men
to go to Mesopotamia on our hei-al^ to visit certain points
likely to present trade openings, and subject to the full
consent of the Military Authorities on the spot: similar
representatives have no doubt been sent by others.
We hope that if our very humble intentions are properly
put before the Indian Authorities, they will no longer wish
to modify the authority contained in your Department's
message of the 25th September last.
Yours sircorely,
etc.
