The figures at which these gentlemen were able to buy and sell Persian Rugs of high quality were so much below the regular prices of rugs of this character, that the men that brought them to America were SUSPECTED of FRAUDULENT UNDERVALUATIONS, by the Custom authorities, and had to thoroughly establish their character through Persian consuls and the Missionary Board operating in Persia, before finally getting their rugs into this country AT THE LOW PRICES MADE POSSIBLE BY THEIR DIRECT BUYING IN THEIR OWN PERSIAN VILLAGES, often from people who needed immediate money, or when the death of the head of a family broke up a home, and children were willing to part cheaply with old family treasures.

If he should so report, the rug will be released at “On the strength of your endorsement of them, I have asked the At- torne: General to request the United States District Attorney to take into consideration their lack of knowledge of our language andthe fact that you know them to be men of high character, whose blunder was a mere unin- tentional clerical error.’’ I trust that in due time, you may get the bale that has been seized. Very cordially yours, Robert E. Speer. (Signed) The RUGS Which Were Seized Are Here So are the two Persians who personally collected them.
