- Abstract: Translation of a letter from Abbas Meerza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia] to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir. Abbas Meerza indicates that is aware that a messenger is en route to Macdonald Kinneir bearing letters from the latter’s assistant, Captain John Nicholl Robert Campbell. He requests that Macdonald Kinneir inform him of the contents of these letters as soon as possible, on account of the fact that Captain Campbell has been conferring with the Russian General [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia]. Abbas Meerza also requests that Macdonald Kinneir meet him at Tasooch [Tasuj], as he is desirous of his advice during the upcoming negotiations with Russia.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 7, in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 73 to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 1 November 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/84).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
