- Abstract: Translation of a letter from the Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Meerza Abool Hussan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī], to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir. Meerza Abool Hussan Khan indicates that the King [Shāh of Persia, Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār] has directed him to report the recent Persian victory over Russia near Eutch Keleesia [an Armenian religious site, possibly at present-day Vagharshapat] to Macdonald Kinneir, enclosing a letter from the Prince Royal [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār] on the subject (not included in this item). He also requests that Macdonald Kinneir send his assistant, Dr John McNeill, to the King’s camp to give medical aid to one of his wives, the Tauj oo Dowleh [Ṭāvūs Khānom, Tāj al-Dawlah].This document was originally enclosed, numbered 4 in dispatch No. 64, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 5 September 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/38). This document also includes a note indicating that enclosure No. 5 in dispatch No. 64, from the Moatumud oo Dowleh [Mīrzā ‘Abd al-Wahhāb Nishāṭ Iṣfahānī, Mu‘tamid al-Dawlah] is to the same effect.Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
