- Title:
- Enclosure in Letter from Henry Willock to the Secret Committee of 22 Sep 1824
- Scope & Content:
-
A copy of a letter from Henry Willock, HM Chargé d’Affaires in Persia [Iran], to George Canning, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, sent from Tehran and dated 16 September 1824.
The letter reports on discussions between Semyon Mazarovich, Russian Chargé d’Affaires in Persia, and the Shah [Fath-‘Ali Shāh Qājār] and Persian Ministers on issues in Russo-Persian relations, in particular Russia’s push for the establishment of a consulate in Resht [Rasht]. This is opposed by the Persian side which is wary of Russian influence in Gilan province. Willock conjectures on the threat that Russian expansion into Gilan would pose to India.
The letter was enclosed in Willock’s letter to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors of the East India Company (IOR/L/PS/9/69/220).
