[Paraphrase]
Teheran, August 9, 1927—5 p.m.
[Received August 9—11:20 a.m.]

52. Your No. 39 of August 8. I have delayed giving effect to Department’s No. 37 fearing to provoke Government to hostility [Page 556] against members of mission still in Persia. As position of Americans is not improving, I had determined to address communication to Persian Government tomorrow. But I shall again postpone delivery of note until Department confirms previous instructions. If Persian Legation presents further requests, I beg to be kept informed.

Philip
