-
Copy of a letter, numbered 7, from HM Ambassador Extraordinary to Persia [Iran], Sir Gore Ouseley, in Tehran, to HM Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Marquis Wellesley, of 15 March 1812. The letter concerns Ouseley’s negotiations for the Definitive Treaty between Britain and Persia, detailing the key aim of strengthening Persia as a bulwark to British imperial interests in India, and containing his observations concerning the specific articles of the treaty. The letter also details the rationale behind making the Crown Prince of Persia, Abbas Mirza, a party to the treaty, and the Shah of Persia, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar’s opposition to this. The letter also encloses instructions given by Ouseley to his private secretary Sir William Ouseley for his mission to Mazenderan [Mazandaran] (not included in this item, see IOR/L/PS/9/68/127). The letter was enclosed in Sir Gore Ouseley’s letter to the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the East India Company of 15 March 1812 (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/124), which was received on 8 August 1812.
