About this item

Content

Letter regarding the Imam of Muscat's negotiations with the Bussorah [Basra] Government and enclosing a letter to the Imam containing a detailed account of the proceedings of those negotiations. Colonel Stannus notes that the account of the proceedings includes references to the involvement of Captain Robert Taylor which appears to have exceeded the bounds prescribed to him, and that a letter had been written to Captain Taylor requesting an explanation for the references, and that the Colonel's response to the Imam of Muscat made reference to that involvement too.

The letter to the Imam describes the military action taken against Bussorah, and the involvement of the Resident at Bussorah (Robert Taylor) in mediating the peace settlement and the specific terms within relating, particularly those relating to the East India Company.
