- Abstract: Transcript of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to Abbas Meerza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia]. Macdonald Kinneir reports that General Paskevitch [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 at a village in the vicinity of Meana [Mianeh], as opposed to Macdonald Kinneir’s preference for Maragha [Maragheh]. Macdonald Kinneir also indicates that he hopes that the Province [of Azerbaijan] might be evacuated by Russia at the cost of six and a half crores of tomans in reparations from Persia, owing to Abbas Meerza’s good faith.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 7 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)
