- Abstract: Copy of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Prince Royal, Abbas Mirza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia]. Macdonald Kinneir reports that the Russian General-in-Chief, General Paskewitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], has indicated his preference for the meeting place for the signature of the peace treaty to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] to be near Mianneh [Mianeh], rather than Macdonald Kinneir’s suggestion of Mauragha [Maragheh], and that the General will decide on the place in the next few days and inform Abbas Mirza. He also indicates that General Paskewitch will not take any less than six and a half crores of tomans in reparations from Persia, but that on account of Abbas Mirza’s good faith, ‘he hopes the remaining affairs will soon be arranged’.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 6 in enclosure No. 5, 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 (1 folio)
