Branches.
I note with pleasure that the Persian
Authorities have agreed to refund the duty paid in respect
of certain items, and we are now awaiting the full text
of the Persian Authorities' reply. It is hoped that
this report when received may clarify the position as to
the particular items they consider to be excluded under
the clause in the agreement, and my Company could then
decide whether it would be justified in asking you to
further press the matter.
Regarding the stores held up at Char bar under
the letter of Guarantee ( concerning which I wrote you on
1st November), I have pleasure in confirming that these have
now been released without payment of duty.
Yoirs sincerely.
