Copy of Dispatch No. 13 from HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia [Iran], Henry Willock, in Tehran, to the Governor-General of the Presidency of Fort William, the Marquess of Hastings, of 25 May 1819. The letter reports the inability of the Prince of Khorasan, Hussein Ali Mirza [Ḥusayn ‘Alī Mirza Farmānfarmā] to capture Herat in Afghanistan, where an internal conflict has left the city vulnerable to attack (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/192), due to a rebellion of the principal Khans of Khorasan. The letter also details events from the internal conflict in Afghanistan, including:
- The defeat of the army of Kamran [Shahzada Kāmrān Durrānī], the son of the Shah of Afghanistan, Shah Mahmood [Maḥmūd Shāh Durrānī], at Cabul [Kabul] by the former Shah, Shujaa il Moolk [Shujā’ al-Mulk Durrānī]
- Rumours of the imminent retreat of Shah Mahmood and Kamran to Herat
- The execution of Futteh Khan [Fatḥ Khān Bārakzāy].
The letter was enclosed in Willock's letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 26 May 1819 (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/201), which was received on 28 August 1819.
