‘Letters from Sir J. Outram April 23d. 1857.’
- Scope & Content:
-
This bundle consists of summaries of letters from Sir James Outram (in command of the British army in the Anglo-Persian War) to Lord Clarendon (George William Frederick Villiers, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), dated 11, 22 and 23 April 1857.
The summary of the letter dated 11 April concerns the change in the outward behaviour of the Arab Chiefs towards the British, since the former heard about the Treaty of Peace between the United Kingdom and Persia. The summary of the letter dated 22 April acknowledges receipt of the letter of 5 March 1857 announcing the signature of the Treaty, and mostly concerns difficulties in relation to the location of the troops ‘on account of the heat of Bushire and the insalubrity of Mohammera [Khorramshahr, Iran]’. The summary of the letter of 23 April just states ‘Memorandum as to the disorganised state of the Persian Army.’.
