ARPA, CHIEP OP MOHAMMERAH.
After compliments and enquiries after your welfare. I have the honour to
acquaint Your Excellency that I recently heard from Mr. Consul McDouall of
the action which you have seen fit to take at this juncture in connection
with the Revenue from the Customs of the port of Mohammerah.
That is to say I learn that Your Excellency has ordered that until further
notice the proceeds from the Customs receipts of Mohammerah are not to he
sent forward to Teheran, but are to be retained at Mohammerah.
Hearing this news I think it advisable to remind Your Excellency in the
clearest manner possible that the Customs Revenues of the Gulf Ports includ-
in°- Mohammerah are pledged to the British Government as security for loans
granted by the British Government to the Persian Government. This matter
Ts well-known and beyond dispute, and I trust that I shall receive from Your
Excellency at early date an assurance that in the matter of the Customs receipts
the claims and interests of His Majesty’s Government, between whom and
yourself such friendly relations have always existed in the past, will be strictly
safeguarded by Your Excellency.
P. Z. COX, Major,
British Resident in the Persian Gidf and
Mis Britannic Majesty's Consul-General
