- Title:
- Boundary between Persia and North-West Baluchistan
- Scope & Content:
- Two documents exist within these folios, one of which was written by Hermann Anderson Haines, Assistant, Public Works Department, on 19 September 1893, and the next by Captain Frederick Weston Peile MacDonald on 15 August 1893. The first document by Haines explains the history leading up to the boundary dispute between Persia and Baluchistan over the ownership of Mekran and the actions that have been taken by each party. It also focuses on the original documents, drawn up by Major-General Sir Frederic John Goldsmid, which marked the boundary. Haines closes the document by stating the necessity of speedy delimitation. The second document by MacDonald focuses mainly upon the benefits of quickly arranging a settlement over the boundary as he believes that it shows the support of the British for the people of Mekran and also provides a countermove against recent Russian involvement in the region.
