Abstract: This file consists of a note written by Owen Tudor Burne, Secretary, Political and Secret Department, India Office, in which the author suggests ways to improve relations between the Shah of Persia and the British Government in order to limit the influence of the Russian Government in Persia. The author concludes that Britain's best hopes in this regard lie in the construction of a railway in southern Persia and in establishing good relations with the Shah's eldest son.A further note by Burne, and a copy of a letter from the India Office to the Foreign Office document an earlier, unsuccessful, attempt to persuade Germany to join in attempts to counter Russian influence in Persia.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 202 and terminates at the last folio with 203, as it is part of a larger physical volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 202-203; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
