Content

Three papers in French concerning indigo, copied by Harford Jones, Resident in Bagdad [Baghdad], dated 15 April 1801.

The first two papers describe the trade in indigo from India to Bagdad and other parts of the Ottoman Empire since the 1770s, detailing trade routes and the quality and prices of different varieties of indigo.

The third paper appraises specimens of indigo brought to Bagdad by Captain John Malcolm, Envoy of the Governor-General of Bengal to Persia [Iran], and suggests trade strategies. Another copy of this paper can be found in IOR/L/PS/9/76/177.
