Abstract: Translation of a letter from the Governor-General of Georgia, General Yermoloff [Aleksey Petrovich Yermolov], to the Shah of Persia [Iran], Futh Ali Shah [Fath-‘Ali Shāh Qājār]. In the letter, Yermoloff appeals to the Shah for a resolution to the negotiations for the settlement of the Russo-Persian frontier in the Caucasus, following a standstill in the negotiations over a portion of land on the shores of the Goojah Lake [Lake Sevan]. Yermoloff also indicates that he has instructed the Russian Chargé d'Affaires to Persia, Mazarowitch [Semyon Mazarovich], to represent his views on the matter of the frontier to the Shah (see IOR/L/PS/9/70/46).This document was originally enclosed, numbered 2, in the letter of HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia, Henry Willock, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 10 September 1825 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/45).Physical description: 1 item (6 folios)
