Abstract: Translation of a letter from the Governor-General of Georgia, General Alexis Yermoloff [Aleksey Petrovich Yermolov], to the Beglerbegee [Beglerbegi, or Beylerbeyi, Turkish and Azeri for Governor-General] of Tabriz, Futteh Ali Khan [Fath-‘Ali Khan Rashti]. In the letter, General Yermoloff is critical of Futteh Ali Khan on the grounds that the agreement concluded between themselves at Tiflis [Tbilisi] for the settlement of the frontier between Russia and Persia [Iran] in the Caucasus is not considered binding by the Persian Government.This translation was originally enclosed in the letter of HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia, Henry Willock, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 3 December 1825 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/50).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
