Abstract: Copy of a letter, numbered 1, from HM Ministers to Persia [Iran], James Morier and Henry Ellis, in Kanaker [now part of Yerevan], to HM Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Viscount Castlereagh, of 21 August 1814. The letter encloses a translation of the written agreement between HM Ambassador Extraordinary to Persia, Sir Gore Ouseley, and the Persian Government concerning the terms for the cessation of the subsidy paid by the East India Company to Persia (not included in this item, see IOR/L/PS/9/68/157). Ellis and Morier highlight the difficulties that this agreement poses towards their negotiations with Persia for a revision of the Definitive Treaty agreed by Ouseley in 1813. The letter was enclosed in Morier and Ellis’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 30 November 1814 (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/158), which was delivered by Ellis on 13 March 1815.Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
