- Copy of a Letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Deckhargan, to Dr John McNeill
- Scope & Content:
-
Copy of a letter from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Deckhargan [Azarshahr], to his assistant, Dr John McNeill, of 18 January 1828. Macdonald Kinneir reports that the Russian plenipotentiaries responsible for negotiating a peace treaty to end the war with Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] have broken off negotiations and recommenced hostilities, as they no longer trust the King [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār, Shāh of Persia] or his ministers. He directs McNeill to send the three crores of tomans deposited at Casvin [Qazvin] to Zunjan [Zanjan], where he himself will receive them, indicating that the arrival of Mirza Abul Hassan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī, Foreign Minister of Persia] at the negotiations without the money had served to inflame Russian suspicions.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 1 in dispatch No. 81, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 21 January 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/154).
