Your Highness,
With reference to the second desideratum indicated in my previous letter of
to-day’s date, it is understood and agreed between the two Go\ernments rec
procally that, on the one hand, His Majesty’s Government will not dam from
the Government of His Majesty the Shah the cost of the maintenance of Britiih
troops which His Majesty’s Government were obliged to send to Persia owmgo
Persia’s want of power to defend her neutrality, and that on the ot er an
Persian Government will not claim from the British Go\ ernment an m e y
for any damage which may have been caused by the said troops during t c p
ence in Persian territory.
