Telegram R., No. 1216 B. } dated the 12th (received 13th) June 191&.
.From-—The Hon^blb Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Percy Cox, K.C.I.E., C.S.I.,

Trevor reports that the Persian Government have instructed the Gov
ernor to hand over the key of Wonckhaus’s safe in Bushire to Persian clerk.
Key is in our possession.
Safe is known to hold considerable amount of money. Wassmuss is known
to he very short of money and the absence of funds prevents his activities from
having much effect. Wonckhaus’s funds are doubtless wanted for him and
mav enable him to succeed in his endeavours.
*
I am of opinion that we should inform the Governor that in view of what
has passed we will not allow safe to be opened or funds removed. Bo you
agree ?
