llaroh. Ab long ae there is any hope that our objects in
the Ceucasuo may be attained, and in view of v/hat
Ihinsterville *s Mission may be able to accomplish in Persia in
the near future, it is essential that the corporate existence
and feeling of the Mission should be preserved and encouraged.
Marshall’s difficulties and his desire tc be able to pool
his resources both ae regards Staff Officers and personnel
are fully realised but it would be better in view of the
above if no change were made in the establishment of
Dunsterville*s Staff at present and that the personnel
should not be used for purposes outside the objects of the
Mission without reference to War Offioe. This of oourse
does not refer to the filling of vacancies in Dunsterville f s
Staff if and when they occur which might be filled it is
suggested from within the Mission.
