| Dates | 1837-09-15 |
| Abstract | M.D. Taliatine letter to Justin Perkins in which Taliatine writes from Ashan. He notes that he sent furniture down while at Sheeshavan and writes regarding difficulties with the Prince, including between the Prince and his head wife and between himself and the Prince. He references a letter from the Prince to him and his responding note, both of which he says he is sending along. After describing the difficulties, Taliatine explains that he was ready to leave the Prince's service but was then made fearful upon hearing that the Prince intended him to force him to render his Dagger. He writes about the interest the Prince owes, mentioning A. Nisbet and hadji Chasem. He asks Perkins' opinion on whether or not he should go to Ormiah (Urmia) with the Prince this month as the consequences of him telling the Armenian gentlemen there the truth or not are both undesirable. The note and letter referenced no longer accompany this item. |
