Copy of a Letter from HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia, Sir Henry Willock, in Tehran, to Major-General Sir William Grant Keir
- 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 29 December 1819. The letter concerns communications between Willock and the ministers of the Court of the Shah of Persia regarding the planned British expedition, of which Grant Keir is a commander, to the Persian Gulph [Persian Gulf] to attack the Juwasemees [al-Qawasim] and their allies, including those on the Persian coast (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/209); the letter encloses two of these communications (not included in this item, see IOR/L/PS/9/68/220-221). Willock details the Persian refusal to allow British military operations against ports on the Persian coast, but indicates that the expedition may still follow its orders regarding the ports on the Persian coast, as no defence capable of resisting British troops is anticipated.
The letter was enclosed in Willock’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 31 December 1819 (see IOR/L/PS/9/68/218), which was received on 20 April 1820.
