- Abstract: Letter from John Campbell, in Marand, to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, of 28 October 1827. In the letter, Campbell details his meetings with General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia] during the ongoing war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. He reports Paskevitch’s intention of travelling to Tabreez [Tabriz] to make arrangements for future hostile operations in the event of the breakdown of proposed peace talks between Russia and Persia, and of subsequently nominating a place at which to meet the Prince Royal, Abbas Meerza [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār] to begin negotiations for peace. Campbell also indicates that Paskevitch requested that Macdonald Kinneir not be present at the negotiations, as his presence ‘might have the semblance of mediation’.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 13, in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 73 to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 1 November 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/84).Physical description: 1 item (3 folios)
