for my parusal by your sacratary under his Mo 198? of 8th jeo.
The signature to this document is a false one. The document
is almost an exact translation into Persian of that which was re
cently sent in Arabic to the editor of the Times of Mesopotamia .who
sent it on to me for comments & which was forwarded to you. This
letter was given to Mai la Abdur Rahman Bastaki (Gachuwi) who is a
schoolmaster under the Egyptian rulla Hafiz.who w^s responsible for
the original,to trans&late for him into Persian. The brother of
llalla Abdur Rahman gave this informbtion to Than Bahadur liuhaminad
Sharif 1 s
Munshi
A term used in the Middle East, Persia and South Asia to refer to a secretary, assistant or amanuensis. Munshis were employed in the British administration in the Gulf.
.When he heard of it K.B. Muhammad Sharif told him
that he had been very unwise to mix himself up in such propaganda.
Ualla Abdur Rahman and his brother who gave the information are sons
of iha ik Abdul-Wahid (nicknamed Mttlla.,Zindin) against whom the
Deputy Grovernor of Xingeh has recently-been conplaining arding
his attacks-on htm.in ht e press. He was.recently warned by me to
