- Description:
- Abstract: Translation of a letter from Abbas Meerza [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār] to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir. The letter concerns the ongoing negotiations for peace in the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], attended by Abbas Meera’s Vizier, the Kaim Mukam [Mirza Abū al-Qāsim Farāhānī, Qāʾim-Maqām]. Abbas Meerza discusses the monetary and territorial demands made by Russia (see IOR/L/PS/9/71/99), proposing and authorising the Kaim Mukam to make a lower counter offer to the Russian financial demands. He also questions Russian intentions, indicating that he believes their demands are too high and therefore suggest that they are not seeking peace.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 3, in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 74 to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 8 November 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/98).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
