Much of the correspondence relates to: the suggestion of Sir Percy Zachariah Cox, Acting British Minister to Persia, Teheran [Tehran], that the British Government should create a ‘black list’ of ‘enemy’ subjects (German, Austrian, Swedish and Swiss) who operated as ‘enemy agents’ who engaged in hostile measures against British interests in Persia during the First World War, and that the Persian Government should be required to inform Germany and Austria that no individual included in the list would be permitted to enter Persia for a period of ten years; and the Persian Government subsequently removing the prohibition placed on the return to Persia of black-listed Germans.

The part also includes correspondence regarding the application of two Swiss subjects, Henri Hildebrand and Fritz Ernst Raaflaub, for permission to travel to Persia, to represent the Schweiz Handelsgesellschaft für Persien company.

The main correspondents include the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , the Foreign Office, the War Office, and Cox.

This part includes a letter in French from Sir P Cox to Vossugh-ed-Dowleh, 16 May 1919 (folio 85).
