Edward P. Alexander to Judah P. Benjamin, February 1, 1884
[Inclosure in No. 57.]
Mr. Hawkes and Mr. Alexander to Mr. Benjamin.
Hamadan, February 1, 1884.
We, the undersigned, declare that from the time we came to Hamadan the authorities thereof have been continually troubling us by unjustifiably arresting, ill-treating, and fining our servants and employés, by fining people who rent us their houses, by violently preventing the Jews and Armenians from sending their children to school, by inciting people against us, by preventing, or trying to prevent, carpenters, blacksmiths, and others from working for us, and by doing all that could be done, openly and secretly, to oblige us to leave this city.
- JAS. W. HAWKES,
- E. W. ALEXANDER.
