This item contains two letters written in French:
1. A copy of a letter from the Secretary of the British Legation in Persia [Iran], Captain John Nicholl Robert Campbell, to Jean Paskevitch, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian troops in the Caucasus [Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], dated 16 October 1827.
Campbell states that he has been charged with conducting confidential talks to establish a durable peace between Russia and Persia by the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, and that he is ready to come to the Russian headquarters. He also forwards a letter from Macdonald Kinneir to Paskevitch.
2. A copy of a letter from Paskevitch to Campbell, dated 7 October (Old Style) 1827.
Paskevitch states that due to developments in the war with Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] he is unable to receive Campbell in Erivan [Yerevan], and instead invites him to travel to Abbas-Abad [‘Abbasabad].
These documents were originally enclosed, numbered 6, in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 73 to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 1 November 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/84).
