Copy of dispatch No. 78 from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Deckargan [Azarshahr], to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 10 January 1828. The letter reports Macdonald Kinneir’s receipt of a secret packet from the Secret Committee of the East India Company, and includes an annexed list of the contents of this packet (these letters are not included in this item). Macdonald Kinneir also refers to his previous correspondence with the Chairman of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, in which he recommended ‘endeavouring to purchase the redemption of our engagements so stipulated in the 3d and 4th Articles of our Treaty with this Court [Persia]’ (see IOR/L/PS/9/71/64). He indicates that to do this will cost 350,000 to 400,000 Tomauns [tomans, Persian currency].
This document was originally enclosed in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of 21 January 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/154).
