Copy of a letter from the Russian Commander-in-Chief ‘between the Caspian and Black Sea’, General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], to Meerza Abul Hussan Khan [ Mīrzā A title of honour originally applied to princes, later to military leaders, and later still to secretaries, chieftains, and other ‘gentlemen’. Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī, Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs], dated 11 Rejib [Rajab] 1243 [28 January 1828]. General Paskevitch indicates that it was the fault of the Persian Government that the peace negotiations to end the war between Persia [Iran] and Russia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] at Dekerghan [Azarshahr] had broken down, due to the fact that the Persian Government wished for Persian territory occupied by Russia [the Province of Azerbaijan] to be evacuated before the payment of reparations to Russia. General Paskevitch indicates that once the reparations money has reached the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, ‘the terms of the treaty will be fulfilled’.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 1 in enclosure No. 8, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee Pre-1784, the Committee responsible for protecting East India Company shipping. Post-1784, its main role was to transmit communications between the Board of Control and the Company's Indian governments on matters requiring secrecy. of the East India Company of 16 March 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/201).
