- Abstract: Translation of a letter from the Kaim Mukam [Mīrzā Abū al-Qāsim Farāhānī, Qā’im-Maqām] to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir. The Kaim Mukam indicates that the Shah of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār] has ordered Prince Abbas Mirza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia] to return to Azerbijan [Azerbaijan] to conclude the peace treaty to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] with the Russian General-in-Chief, General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], and encloses a firman [a letter or order] from the Shah to the same effect for Macdonald Kinneir to forward on to Abbas Mirza (not included in this item). The Kaim Mukam also reports the dispatch of reparations payments to Russia, and indicates that Mirza Abul Hassan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī, Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs] has ‘great objection’ to meeting with General Paskevitch, and that orders have been sent for him to leave Zunjan [Zanjan].This document was originally enclosed, numbered 2 in enclosure No. 11, 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)
