A
Sir:-
Referring to my letter of the 23ra of March/5th
April 1911, No.196, addressed to Your Excellency, with
regard to the proposals of the Indo-European Company, for
the reconstruction, maintenance and working of the main
Telegraph lines in Persia, within the Russian Sphere
of influence in that Country, I am instructed hy my
Directors, to submit to Your Excellency the following
observations respecting these proposals.
It would appear from the Arrangements already con
cluded between the Governments of Great Britain and
Russia, that the latter Government takes eventually over
the control of the Teheran-Meshed line, and of the line
from Meshed to Khaf while the line from Khaf to Seistan
comes under British control. This terminates the Com
pany's activity at Khaf, and not at Birjand, and the
proposed Agreement (article 3) between the Imperial
Russian and Persian Governments and my Company should
be modified accordingly.
