Noskoff reports his arrival at Erivan [Yerevan] and indicates the commencement of his journey to the frontier between Russia and Persia. He also reports the receipt of a letter from the Cayim Mukam [Mirza Abū al-Qāsim Farāhānī, Qāʾim-Maqām] concerning glassware belonging to the Russian envoy to Persia, Prince Minchakoff [Prince Aleksandr Sergeevich Menshikov], and indicates that he has requested that the glassware be kept for safe keeping by the Cayim Mukam until he has been given instructions by Prince Minchakoff (see IOR/L/PS/9/70/187).This document was originally enclosed, numbered 1 in No. 40, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 23 March 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/192).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
