- Abstract: Translation of a letter from the Governor-General of Georgia, General Yermoloff [General Aleksey Petrovich Yermolov], to the Foreign Minister of Persia [Iran], Mirza Abul Hassan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khan Shīrāzī]. In the letter General Yermoloff expresses his gratitude for the safe return of 200 prisoners from Persia, and indicates that he has forwarded a letter addressed by Mirza Abul Hassan Khan to the Foreign Minister of Russia, Count Nesselrode (not included in this item). General Yermoloff also discusses the Persian desire for peace talks, as communicated to him by the Persian envoy Mirza Mahomed Ali [Mīrzā Muḥammad ʿAlī Khan Shīrāzī], and also responds to Mirza Abul Hassan Khan’s letter (catalogued as IOR/L/PS/9/70/182), dismissing an accusation that Russia is at fault with regards to disputed territory, and indicating that he cannot agree an armistice until permission from the Emperor of Russia has been obtained.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 4, in the letter of the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 21 April 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/214).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
