Copy of Dispatch No. 10 from HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia, Henry Willock, in Tehran, to HM Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Viscount Castlereagh
- Scope & Content:
-
Copy of dispatch No. 10 from HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia [Iran], Henry Willock, in Tehran, to HM Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Viscount Castlereagh, of 10 May 1818. The letter concerns the determination of the Shah of Persia to send a Persian embassy to Britain, detailing Willock’s representations concerning the high cost of the embassy and the fact that it would have to be paid for solely by Persia. The letter also discusses the aims of the embassy, particularly the Shah’s hopes of seeking pecuniary compensation from Britain for territory lost to Russia in the peace treaty of 1813. Willock details the Persian government's belief that Britain had acted in bad faith in this respect, both in their role in negotiating and facilitating the peace treaty, and in subsequent negotiations between Britain and Persia for the Treaty of Tehran in 1814.
The letter was enclosed in Willock’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 25 May 1818 (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/173), which was received on 15 September 1818.
