- Abstract: Translation of a Firmaun [firman, a letter or order] from the Shah of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār] to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, dated in the month of Jemadeal Sawee [Jumādá al-Thānīyah AH 1243, circa January 1828]. The letter concerns the negotiations for the peace treaty to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. The Shah indicates that he has dispatched Meerza Abool Hussan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī, Foreign Minister of Persia] to Deheraghon [Azarshahr], where the treaty has been negotiated, and has sent Macdonald Kinneir’s assistant, Dr John McNeill, to deliver gold, intended for payment to Russia in reparations as part of the treaty, to Macdonald Kinneir, and states that the remainder of the reparations, in silver, will be delivered at a later date.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 1 in enclosure No. 4, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 16 March 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/201).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
