- Abstract: Translation of correspondence between Abbas Meerza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia] and General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia]. Abbas Meerza discusses his previous proposal to travel to St Petersburgh [St Petersburg], which General Paskevitch has declined owing to the ongoing war between Persia [Iran] and Russia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], and indicates his wish to enter into negotiations for peace. In his reply General Paskevitch accuses Abbas Meerza of sending a messenger to his camp to act as a spy, and also indicates that his answer to Abbas Meerza’s proposal for peace negotiations is the same as previously given.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 3 in dispatch No. 67, 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 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/67).Physical description: 1 item (4 folios)
