- Title:
- Letter from Abbas Meerza to the Chairman of the Court of Directors of the East India Company
- Scope & Content:
-
Letter, in Persian, from Abbas Meerza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia] to the Chairman of the Court of Directors of the East India Company (IOR/L/PS/9/71/65 (1)) and a translation of the letter in English (IOR/L/PS/9/71/65 (2)). Abbas Meerza raises the stipulation in Anglo-Persian treaty relations [the Definitive Treaty of 1814] for the provision of a subsidy from Britain to Persia [Iran] in the event of Russian aggression leading to the outbreak of war between Russia and Persia. He requests that the subsidy be paid, on account of the ongoing war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] and his responsibility, and urgent need, to pay for Persia’s war effort.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 1, in the letter of the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Chairman of the Court of Directors of the East India Company of 12 October 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/64).
