- Abstract: Translation of a letter from Mirza Abul Hassan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī, Foreign Minister of Persia] to Count Lieven [Count Christoph Heinrich Lieven, Ambassador of the Russian Empire to the United Kingdom], 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], via Vienna or London, to negotiate a peace agreement to end the ongoing war between Persia [Iran] and Russia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], and requests Count Lieven’s assistance in the endeavour. He blames the outbreak of the war on the ‘Russian Frontier Authorities’ [the Russian Government in Georgia], and indicates that while he is aware that the Governor-General of Georgia [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky] is empowered to negotiate peace, the Persian Government have been unsuccessful in attempting to negotiate peace with him.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)
