I have the honour to refer to the correspondence resting
with this office T.L*No.4-T dated the 15th ’ebruary, 1.943, re
garding Hussain Than Buchakchi.
K-
G, The assurance wich, as already reported in ny telegram
TTo.39 dated 14th February I gave to Akbar Khan son of Hussain Khan,
was a verbal not a written one. My reasons f r withholding the ^
vjritten assurance at that time were (l) because of the General Offic
er Commanding’s objection to the giving of a written assurance ( re
ported in ry telegram No.37 dated the 11th February) and (2) in
order to have something in reserve to use as a ''urther inducement &f
necessary. The first objection vanished as a result of further
discussion with the Governor-General before ny depar Bare, in which
he informed me that he saw no objection to a written assurance being
given, that He had persuaded the General Officer Commanding to take
this view, and t at in fact beth xi 3 i he and the General Officer
Co mending had given guarantees in writing on be' alf of the Iranian
Government. I went to SIRJAN therefore prepared to give a written
assurance if I considered there ’ oul" be an advantage in doing so.
3. I was in SIRJAN on two occasions, on my way to and from
BANDAR cBBAl. On both occasions I had discussions with the principal
officers and others, and it was not long before I was compelled to
agree with Major Phillips’ vi w of them. I have rarely "Bt such an
unattractive set of rogues and liars, ith regard to Hussain Khan
there appear to be two main views, possibly correspond!ng with the
two parties which are said to exist in the town,
