Heratis, whose fields they have occupied as their camping ground. It is stated that

His Majesty the King-Emperor’s birthday was celebrated on June 5th. In
the afternoon a reception was held at the Consulate, at which all Persian local
officials, and the British community were present. At this reception His Majesty’s

Tehran that he should be allowed to dispose of the Government bkoosa, amounting
