| Abstract | J. P. Riach letter to Justin Perkins in which Riach writes in continuation of his political report of Persia. He discusses the departures of Mr. (John) McNeill and the Russian Ambassador from Tehran to Herat. He says he thinks "we" (England) may have to show their teeth to both the Shahs and the Emperor of Russia. He also shares his opinion that they may be ordered by McNeill to leave Persia soon. Riach suggests that Perkins and his party should remain at Ooroomiah (Urmia, Iran) and seek protection from the Consul General of Russia. He says that most of the Russians there think that Russia will cajole the Shah into a quarrel with them (the British). |
