The term can be shortened to 'envoy'. to Persia [Iran], Sir Harford Jones, to HM Minister Plenipotentiary to the Ottoman Empire, Stratford Canning, of 13 November 1810. The letter concerns an affair at Constantinople [Istanbul] involving the Persian Ambassador to France, Askar Khan [Askar Khan Afshar], and the Persian Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Meerza Ameen [Mirza Amin].
