They also condemn the actions of William Bruce, Resident in Bushire [Būshehr], in relation to Charak [Bandar-e Charāk] and Lingua [Bandar-e Lengeh], demand compensation from Bruce for Persian subjects, and refuse the cession of an island for a British base in the Gulf.The letter 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 (6 folios)
