- Title:
- Letter from Harford Jones to Lord Elgin
- Scope & Content:
-
A copy of a letter from Harford Jones, Resident in Bagdad [Baghdad], to Lord Elgin, HM Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, sent from Bagdad and dated 1 January 1801.
The letter concerns Elgin’s grant of a Birat [commission] to Morad (also known as Mordechai) Coen, a Jewish merchant in Bagdad, and the reaction to this of Soliman Pashaw [Büyük Sulaymān Pāshā, Governor of Baghdad]. It also discusses the replacement of the Baghdad Janissary Aga [Commander of the Janissary corps].
Attached are English and Ottoman Turkish copies of a letter from Soffian Aga [Sufyān Āghā], Agent of the Pashaw of Bagdad in Constantinople [Istanbul], to Soliman Pashaw. The letter advises Soliman Pashaw that the Birat granted to Morad Coen can be withdrawn if Soliman Pashaw writes to Samuel Manesty, Resident in Bussora [Basra].
