- Abstract: Transcript of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Shah of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār]. Macdonald Kinneir reports that the Russian General-in-Chief, General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], has learned from his agent, M Valcofski [Vladimir Dmitriyevich Volkhovsky], of the arrival of Prince Hassan Alli Meerza [Ḥusayn ‘Alī Mirzā Farmānfarmā, Prince-Governor of Fars] at Tehraun [Tehran] and the alleged determination of the Persian Government not to pay the reparations stipulated in the agreement to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] (see IOR/L/PS/9/71/173-174). Macdonald Kinneir indicates that on this basis General Paskevitch has resolved to recommence hostilities, and gives details of the planned campaign. Macdonald Kinneir also indicates however that should the Persian Government be willing to pay seven crores of tomans he will be willing to be answerable for the evacuation of the Province of Azerbijan [Azerbaijan] by Russia, and of Khoee [Khoy] upon the receipt of a further crore.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 5 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)
