- Title:
- ‘Translation of a letter addressed by Colonel Macdonald Envoy to His Royal Highness Abbas Mirza’
- Scope & Content:
-
Translation of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Tabreez [Tabriz], to Abbas Mirza [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār], of 12 November 1827. In the letter, Macdonald Kinneir reports that he has been instructed by the Ministers of the Shah of Persia to advance a sum of twenty or thirty thousand tomans [Persian currency] to Abbas Mirza, and that he is in the process of amassing the funds. He also encourages Abbas Mirza to meet with General Paskewitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia] to conduct peace talks in the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. He attempts to allay Abbas Mirza’s apprehensions about the meeting and indicates that General Paskewitch is anxious to agree peace. Macdonald Kinneir also recommends the swift agreement of peace on account of the efforts of religious leaders in Tabreez to oppose a peace deal.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 6, in Macdonald Kinneir’s dispatch No. 75 to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 9 December 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/107).
