- Abstract: Copy of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Deckargan [Azarshahr], to his assistant, Dr John McNeill, of 10 January 1828. This letter is in reply to a letter from McNeill (not included in this item) concerning the agreement of peace in the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], which indicates that the Shah of Persia [Fath-‘Ali Shāh Qājār] has proposed that the province of Azerbijan [Azerbaijan] should be evacuated by Russian troops before the payment of the first instalment of reparations to Russia. Macdonald Kinneir indicates that this proposition is unacceptable to Russia, as it is in contravention of the agreement already negotiated by the Prince [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia], and has alarmed the Russian Commander-in-Chief, General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia]. Macdonald Kinneir also recommends that the money intended for payment should not be allowed to be transported past the boundaries of Irack [Arak] unless the Shah intends to pay Russia under the terms already agreed.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 2 in 79, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 10 January 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/154).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
