2. Lieutenant-Colonel H. J. Underwood has just arrived in Tehran to
take up his duties as Military Attache to this Legation in succession to Lieu
tenant-Colonel G. D. Pybus. Colonel Pybus on his arrival had the honour of
being presented to His Imperial Majesty The Shah, and I hope that it may be
possible for the same privilege to be granted to his successor, in accordance
with what I believe is the practice here in the case of Military Attaches.
Should His Imperial Majesty be willing to grant an audience, it is also I
believe, the practice that a retiring Military Attache has the honour of a fare
well audience with His Imperial Majesty, and I trust that I may be permitted
when presenting Colonel Underwood, to be accompanied by Colonel Pybus,
who is anxious to pay his respects before departing from Iran.
3. Would Your Excellency please be so good as to take the necessary
steps to ascertain the pleasure of His Imperial Majesty with regard to this
matter ?
4. I venture to mention, for Your Excellency’s own private information
that according to present arrangements Colonel Pybus proposes to leave
Tehran on about the 26th March (6th Farvardin, 1317).
