The Minister in Afghanistan (Engert) to the Secretary of State

226. British Government has instructed its Minister in Kabul to deliver message referred to in my 222 of November 12. Quaroni states he will recommend that Italian Legation be closed altogether.

In order to take fullest possible advantage of remaining opportunities I propose to establish with members of Italian Legation social contacts which I have so far avoided. British Legation will do the same.
