He also entreats the Prince Royal to ensure that he is present at the agreed meeting place with the Commander-in-Chief of Russian forces [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia] at Shebister [Shabestar].This document was originally enclosed, numbered 8, 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)
