- Title:
- ‘Translation of a letter from Manoocher Khan to Col. Macdonald Envoy’
- Scope & Content:
-
Translation of a letter from Manoocher Khan [Manūchihr Khān Gurjī, Mu‘tamid al-Dawlah] to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir. Manoocher Khan discusses the transportation of money intended as reparations to be paid to Russia as part of the peace treaty negotiated to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. He gives details of the movements of five crores of tomans in two instalments of gold and silver, reporting the plan for the whole sum to be transported to Macdonald Kinneir at Tabreez [Tabriz]. He indicates that once the money has been delivered to Macdonald Kinneir he may act as he deems ‘most expedient for the interests of Persia’, and also that the Shah of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār] hopes that the peace treaty will be concluded soon.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 4 in enclosure No. 12, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 16 March 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/201).
