The statement clarifies the meaning and implications of an expression, ‘right was on their side’, which Morier and Ellis used during the negotiations and which they believe the Persian plenipotentiaries have misunderstood.The statement 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).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
