I HAVE the honour to inform your Royal Highness that I have come to Shiraz
by order of his Excellency the British Minister, conveyed to me by the Resident, and
that I arrived here yesterday morning.
As I was unable to remain in Shiraz for more than two days, I sent the British
Agent to say that I wished to do myself the honour of calling on your Royal Highness,
and conveying the British Resident’s compliments to you. Up to the present time I
have received no reply, and the compliments paid to the Representatives of His
Britannic Maiesty’s Government have been omitted. I must, therefore, with much
regret bring this discourtesy to the notice of the Resident, for the information of the
British Minister at Tehran.
I intend to start for Bushire to-morrow night.

would be convenient to your Royal Highness. I must beg that you will be goo
enough to give me two hours’ notice.
