- Title:
- ‘Translation of a letter from H. R. H. Prince Abbas Meerza to H. Excy. The Ambassador of France at the Sublime Porte’
- Scope & Content:
-
Translation of a letter from Prince Abbas Meerza [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār] to the French Ambassador to the Sublime Porte [Ottoman Empire], Armand Charles Guillemont. In the letter, Abbas Meerza details the circumstances leading to the outbreak of the ongoing war between Persia [Iran] and Russia in the Caucasus [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], alleging sustained Russian encroachments upon Persian territory and detailing the failure of Persia to receive redress from the Russian Government. Abbas Meerza indicates that the Persian Government did not want to go to war, but had no choice other than that of ‘seizing what was justly their own’.
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 22 June 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/1).
