- Scope & Content:
- Letter, numbered 78, from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Tabreez [Tabriz], to his assistant, Dr John McNeill, of 15 December 1827. In the letter, Macdonald Kinneir responds to letters he has received from McNeill on the subject of the agreement of peace in the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] (not included in this item). He discusses the payment of five crores of tomans [Persian currency] of the indemnity demanded by Russia, which is subject to a time limit, and the storage of the money in Tehraun [Tehran]. Macdonald Kinneir also discusses the transmission of information about the terms of the treaty of peace, which is under negotiation by Abbas Meerza [ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār, Crown Prince of Persia], to the Shah of Persia [Fatḥ-ʿAlī Shāh Qājār], and McNeill’s reports of the proceedings of the Moatumud oo Dowleh [Mīrzā ʿAbd al-Wahhāb Nishāṭ Iṣfahānī, Muʿtamid al-Dawlah]. He also refers to letters he is supposed to have received from the Persian diplomat, Mahomed Ali Khan [Mīrzā Muḥammad ʿAlī Khān Shīrāzī], which he claims he has never received.
