They also condemn the actions of William Bruce, Resident in Bushire [Būshehr], in relation to Bahrein [Bahrain], Charak [Bandar-e Chārak], and Lingua [Bandar-e Lengeh], and request his removal from Persia.The note was enclosed in Willock’s letter to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors of the East India Company dated 26 December 1820 (IOR/L/PS/9/69/46).Physical description: 1 item (4 folios)
