- Title:
- ‘Translation of a letter addressed by H.R.H. Abbas Meerza to General Paskevitch’
- Scope & Content:
-
Translation of a letter from Abbas Meerza [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār] to the Governor-General of Georgia, General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky]. In the letter Abbas Meerza expresses his approval for the removal of the former Governor-General of Georgia, General Yermaloff [General Aleksey Petrovich Yermolov], whom he blames for the outbreak of the ongoing war between Persia [Iran] and Russia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], and for Paskevitch’s subsequent appointment. He also reflects on the progress of the war, and indicates that he is aware that Paskevitch has been empowered by the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count [Karl Robert] Nesselrode, to either conclude peace with Persia or to continue the war, and so requests Paskevitch’s ‘views and wishes’ on the matter.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 2, 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 22 June 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/1).
