Post Offices at Gulf ports should not accept local letters for foreign countries. This

British Consul at Mohammerah in March 1905 that according to instructions
received from the Ministry of Customs and Posts, he could no longer permit

Indian stamps. He desired that such letters should be franked by Persian
stamps and be sent by the Persian Post Office in a closed bag to the Anglo-
Indian Post Office.
