- Abstract: Translation of a letter from Mirza Abul Hassan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī, Foreign Minister of Persia] to Count Nesselrode [Count Karl Robert Nesselrode, Foreign Minister of Russia], dated September 1827. Mirza Abul Hassan Khan announces the intention of the Shah of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār] to send him to St Petersburgh [St Petersburg] to negotiate a peace agreement to end the ongoing war between Persia [Iran] and Russia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. He explains the reasoning behind this decision, indicating that while he is aware that the Governor-General of Georgia [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky] is empowered to negotiate peace, ‘no suitable answers’ have been returned to peace overtures made to the ‘Russian Frontier Authorities’ [the Russian Government in Georgia] by the Persian Government.This document was originally enclosed 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 22 September 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/50).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
