Teheran, 12th May, 1910.At the moment when the British nation mourns its terrible loss, the Medjlis, imbued with a deep feeling of profound sympathy, directs me to transmit to the House of Commons an expression of its own great affliction at the loss of a man who, quite apart from the greatness of his reign as a Sovereign, is entitled to the gratitude of humanity.President of the Medjlis,MOSTECHAREDOOLET.
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe House will probably desire me to send a suitable reply.
