Abstract: This item consists of copies of a Political Despatch from the Government of India Foreign Department to the Secretary of State for India, dated 7 July 1874. The despatch forwards for information a copy of a letter from HM Minister at Teheran addressed to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from which it appears that there is no son of Shureef [Sharif] Khan detained there, and that it is possible that the Cabul [Kabul] Envoy meant the son of Ibrahim Khan, a Sirdar who owns lands on the Afghan side of the frontier, and that the entire possessions of Kamal Khan, whose son is also detained, are in Afghan Seistan [Sistan]. The despatch observes that there is no justification for the detention of those persons against their will by the Persian [Iranian] Government. The despatch is in reference to the despatch from the Secretary in the Political and Secret Department, No. 249 of 19 December 1873.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description (used for referencing) commences at f 30, and terminates at f 32, as it is part of a larger physical volume; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
