The ruckum concerns the ongoing negotiations for peace in the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], and originally forwarded a copy of a ruckum from Abbas Meerza to the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian forces [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky] (now catalogued as IOR/L/PS/9/71/104).

He also entreats Macdonald Kinneir to arrange for the articles of peace between Russia and Persia to be concluded ‘in a satisfactory manner’, and indicates his willingness to conclude peace quickly.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 5, 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)
