【Summary】
This volume contains eighty-four official letters written by Farhād Mīrzā Muʿtamad al-Dawlah, governor of Fārs, to the governor of the port of Būshehr between 1294 and 1296 A.H. The documents are of particular importance as they relate directly to Būshehr, the most significant Iranian port during the Qajar period and the principal maritime gateway of southern Iran and the Persian Gulf.
Given the scarcity of detailed information in historical sources regarding the administrative management of Būshehr during the early Qajar era, these letters provide valuable firsthand evidence. They shed light on governance, economic affairs, regional security, and political relations, offering researchers rare insight into the mechanisms of provincial and port administration in nineteenth-century Iran.
