From Secretary of State to Viceroy, Foreign Department,
8th September 1913.
Foreign Secret. Turco-Persian Frontier Commission. Foreign Office
propose that Wilson should be granted temporary rank of Major while on
Commission. Do you concur ?
With reference to your telegram of 3rd instant it hardly seems advisable

or Russian surveyors. Wilson in discussing arrangements with Mmorsky,
proceeded on assumption that British survey officers would be Captains,
foreign Office now state that identic map was based on accurate triangulation
and that contrary statement in War Office letter of 2nd August last was
incorrect. Triangulations are in existence and are being sent to Mohammerah
for use of Commission. Are you disposed in these circumstances to modify
your recommendations as to Survey party ?
