- Scope & Content:
-
Copy of a letter from Lieutenant Ronald Dugald Harcourt Macdonald to the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, which was written in two parts dated 8 February 1828 and 10 February 1828. The letter concerns the payment of reparations to Russia as part of the peace treaty negotiated to end the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828]. Lieutenant Macdonald gives details of several stages of his journey accompanying an instalment of three crores of tomans, and reports his imminent departure from Meanna [Mianeh] to Tabreez [Tabriz] accompanied by a guard of Russian soldiers. He also refers to Hussan Ali Meerza [Ḥusayn ‘Alī Mirzā Farmānfarmā, Prince-Governor of Fars] having fallen out of favour with the Shah of Persia [Fatḥ-‘Alī Shāh Qājār], owing to comments he made ‘either in a fit of rage or intoxication’.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 3 in enclosure No. 14, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 16 March 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/201).
