This report is obviously and necessarily written from the records of the
office and not from personal knowledge. The character of the work during
the year was much the same apparently as last year and certainly was not
in all cases entirely pleasant. It was, however, pretty normal, the Consulate
being as ever the buffer between colliding factions or the button to make
the bell ring in distant Tehran.
