Your telegram No*45.
My viev/s are given in rry telegram No.44 and I
venture to think: that it is better first to discuss
matter with Minister of Court rather than present him
with draft of Notes to he exchanged. I am quite
alive to India T s fears that Persia may claim diplomatic
victory hut I do not think there need he any question
of this. In a ay case matter is not urgent as there is
no chance now of Treaty being (? initialled by) March
21st.
I still await Minister's reply to or invitation
to discuss my letter of January 24th. He knows that
I think he has behaved badly over exchange law and I
have told him that in my opinion it is infringement of
spirit of Banks*' concession.
I do not propose therefore when next I see him to
offer any further concession such as removal cf
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
. In fact I propose to tell him. that he has
created an unfortunate atmosphere in which to resume
