PERSIA—NO. XV—1848.
Translation of an Autograph Note from His Majesty the Shah to Haj«
Mirza Aghassee,— June 12th, 1848.—Rejjeb 10th, 1264.
Your Excellency the Hajee, let them not bring any negroes by sea, let them
be brought by land. Purely for the sake of Farrant Sahib (Lieutenant-Colonel
Farrant), with whom I am much pleased, I have consented to this. On this subi a
write to the Governors of Fars and Arabia (Persian Arabia).
Solely on account of the goodness of Farrant* I have consented, otherwise some
trifling discussions still exist between us and the English Government.
(Translation.)
Hajee Mirza Aghassee to Lieutenant-Colonel Farrant —12th June 1848
Your communication regarding negroes has been received and its content!
fully understood.
With a view to^request made by you, my sincere and esteemed friend, and
solely on account of the sincere friendship and good freelings I entertain towards
you, I did not consider it proper to withhold or delay the fulfilment of your desire
and exerted my endeavours to preserve the existing friendship between the two
exalted governments of Persia and England by laying your request in detail at a
most fortunate time before His Majesty, etc., etc., the Shah ; may his dominion
and sovereignty be everlasting!
An imperative order has been issued which evinces the exceedingly grea 4
favour entertained towards you, my honoured friend, by His Majesty, etc., etc,
the Shah, which is evident will always increase. The importation of slaves by
sea alone is forbidden, and imperative orders will be issued to the Governors of
Fars and Arabia that hereafter strict prohibition should be observed that no
negroes should be either imported or exported except by land.
Tins affair, in fulfilment of the request of that esteemed friend, has, than^
God been concluded through the countless favour of His Majesty, etc., etc., tli«
Shah, towards you, and by my exertions.
But the Persian ministers in equal proportion require that, by the true friend-
0 . ^ e m ^ n ^ ers t'Le British Government, when they make a request it
will also be acceded to.

About this item
- Content
This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.
The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.
The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.
Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.
The main correspondents are the following: the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the British Legation, Tehran; officials of the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
