WITH reference to your despatch No. 1291 of the 5th November, I have the
honour to report that I took advantage of my first interview with Signor Grandi
on his return from America to raise the question of the difficulties which might
occur when the new Persian warships with their Italian officers reach the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
.
2. Signor Grandi listened attentively to the outline of the position which I
gave him, and said at once that there would be no difficulty in meeting the wishes
of His Majesty’s Government. I said that it was desirable that the Persian
Government should not get wind of these informal representations, and he told me
that I could rely upon him to arrange that there should he no leakage on the part
of the Italian officers.
3. In order that Signor Grandi should have the facts at his disposal, 1 left
with him at his request a confidential memorandum, of which I enclose a copy,
based on vour despatch. *
I have. &c.
