Copy of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in camp at Ahar, to the President of the Board of Control, Charles Watkin Williams-Wynn, of 19 September 1826. The letter originally enclosed a copy of Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company (now catalogued as IOR/L/PS/9/70/146), which reports his decision to send the former HM Chargé d’Affaires to Persia, Henry Willock, to London to represent the Shah of Persia’s wishes for British mediation in the ongoing war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] and for a subsidy from the East India Company.
