Copy of a letter from Dr John McNeill, in Tehran, to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, of 9 January 1828. McNeill reports the arrival of Hassan Ali Mirza [Ḥusayn ‘Alī Mirzā Farmānfarmā, Prince-Governor of Fars] at Tehran, detailing the enthusiastic response among the public and the royal family. He also details the opposition of Hassan Ali Mirza and the religious establishment in Tehran to the payment of reparations to Russia, which is one of the stipulations in the peace treaty being negotiated for an end to the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. McNeill also details his representations to the Shāh of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār] in support of paying the money, and indicates that he has been directed to travel to Casveen [Qazvin] to ensure that the money is paid.
