Abstract
William Glen letter to Justin Perkins in which Glen writes regarding events happening immediately after Mohammed Shâh's death. He discusses his own travels, aggression in the neighborhood, the crowded highway after the King's funeral, and the Heir Apparent's journey from Tabreez (Tabriz) to Tehran at the head of an army. Glen writes of price increases and shops closing, but says that overall the amount of real damage in the neighborhood is small in comparison to what might have been anticipated. He discusses the news that Melek Cassem Meerza (Malik Quasim Mirza) has been appointed Governor of Tabreez, Dr. Cormick is to be his Majesty's Physician, and Mr. Burgess his Translator. He then writes regarding his own upcoming plans, responds to information in Perkins' letter, and comments on the state of Scotland and Ireland.
