- Title:
- ‘Translation of a letter addressed by His Excellency Meerza Abul Hussein Khan His Persian Majestys Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Chairman of the Honourable Court of Directors’
- Scope & Content:
-
The translation of a letter from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Persia [Iran], Meerza Abul Hussein Khan [Mirza Abū al-Ḥasan Khan Shīrāzī], to the Chairman of the Court of Directors of the East India Company (Sir George Abercrombie Robinson). The letter communicates the events leading to the outbreak of war between Russia and Persia in the Caucasus, detailing the dispute over the frontier, the unsuccessful attempts to negotiate the settlement of the frontier, and the outbreak of hostilities and attendant uprisings by local populations in the Caucasus against Russia.
A note following the main body of the letter indicates that a letter from Meerza Abul Hussein Khan to the ‘Secretary of State’ (not included in this item) is almost identical to this letter.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 4, in the letter of the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 6 September 1826 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/131).
