- Scope & Content:
-
Copy of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Bombay [Mumbai], to the Chief Secretary to the Supreme Government of India, George Swinton, of 22 February 1825. In the letter Macdonald Kinneir details:
- The history of Russo-Persian relations and conflicts in the Caucasus
- The expansion of Russian influence in the regions between Russia and India and the potential threat this poses to British possessions in India
- The weakness of the position of the Prince Royal, Abbas Meerza [Crown Prince of Persia, 'Abbās Mīrzā Qājār], and the possibility of conflict for the succession to the throne of Persia.
On the basis of these observations, Macdonald Kinneir makes recommendations for the British to work to oppose both further Russian territorial expansion and the spread of Russian influence in Persia.
This document was originally enclosed in the letter of HM Chargé d'Affaires to Persia, Henry Willock, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 3 July 1825 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/20).
