between the Persian possessions and dependencies in Beloochistan and the
Beloochistan dependencies made over to the independent State of Khelat, have
been received and have both been submitted to His Majesty the Shah.
In obedience to His Majesty’s orders I beg, in reply, most respectfully to
state that the Persian Government, notwithstanding the clear right which it
considered itself to have over Beloochistan, simply out of regard for the wishes
of Her Britannic Majesty’s Government that this question should be brought
to a satisfactory conclusion by the definition of a boundary line, has hereby
accepted Your Excellency’s letter and the map. The Persian Government
now looks forward to the desirable results and important advantages which it
expects from the British Government for this great act of compliance and
co-operation on the part of Persia, and awaits to see what will emanate from
the suitable manner in which the matter will be represented through the good
offices of Your Excellency, an experienced minister and a well wisher, perfect
ly cognizant of the whole details of the merits of the question.

Dated Gulahek, the 3rd September 1871.
From—M r. W. J. Dickson,
To—Her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Teheran.
In compliance with Your Excellency’s instruction, I delivered yesterday
evening to the Minister for Foreign Affairs your note to his address, together
with the maps and a translation of your instruction to me. I urged His
Excellency to lose no time in sending you the documents required of him, as
General Goldsmid was to leave for England to-morrow.
The Minister said that the Shah intended honoring him with a visit to-day,
w len he hoped to obtain His Majesty’s sanction for sending you the necessary
reply, and reciprocating Your Excellency’s congratulations. He, however, again
^ ^^smn to the question of Kohuk, and I strongly recommended him
not to let it stand in the way of the reply now expected from him. Your
oo XC i a 1 said’ had done all that was agreed upon at the conference of the
22nd August; had telegraphed in that sense to London and to India; and the
l erso-Khelat frontier question was, therefore, settled; any attempt made now
to disturb that arrangement would be a breach of faith, and lead to serious
consequences.
The Minister replied that he would do everything in his power to give
satisfaction to Your Excellency, and that if he succeeds in doing so on the
occasion of the Shah s visit, he will regard it as an auspicious event in his life.
