- Scope & Content:
-
Copy of a letter from HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia [Iran], Henry Willock, in Tehran, to Major-General Sir William Grant Keir, of 26 December 1819. The letter concerns the planned British expedition, of which Grant Keir is a commander, to the Persian Gulf to attack the al-Qawasim and their allies, including those on the Persian coast (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/209). The letter encloses a copy of a firman [order] from the Shah of Persia to the Prince of Sheraz [Shiraz], Hussein Ali Mirza [Ḥusayn ‘Alī Mirzā Farmānfarmā], detailing the measures he is to adopt in aiding the British government (not included in this item). Willock reports that the firman offers little in the way of ‘cordial cooperation’, and indicates that he has forwarded a copy of his official note to the ministers of the Court of the Shah of 23rd December 1819 (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/214) to the Prince to discourage opposition to the expedition.
The letter was enclosed in Willock’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 27 December 1819 (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/217), which was received on 20 April 1820.
