- Abstract: Translation 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], dated 1 Ramazan [1 Ramaḍān AH 1243/17 March 1828]. The letter concerns the peace treaty negotiated to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. Macdonald Kinneir reports that the Russian General-in-Chief [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia] will quit Tabriz on 4 Ramazan, and that Abbas Mirza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia] will return to that city on the same day. He also encourages the Shah to issue orders for the speedy dispatch from Teheran [Tehran] of the seventh crore of tomans owed to Russia in reparations, to ensure the evacuation of Khoi [Khoy] and the neighbouring districts by Russian troops.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 3 in dispatch No. 91, in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 34 to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 28 March 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/253).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
