Consul at Ahwaz, a copy of which was enclosed in Tehran
despatch N».117> of Jth March, it seems possible that the

Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.

which may be given by His Majesty’s Consular Officers should
be given informally on the lines adopted by Captain Chauncy

Consul at Ahwaz*
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
