A letter from the king of Aceh on behalf of the Sultan Manshur Syah on the Thursday 15th of the month of Rabi al-Awwal 1265 Hijri (February 8, 1849 AD), published by Annabel Teh Gallop, Dr (Lead Curator Southeast Asian Studies British Library, UK). We noticed at the exhibition November 18, 2014 on the campus of UIN Ar-Raniry at Banda Aceh. This letter its content about the diplomatic missions to friendly nations are: the countries of the Arab nation, 'Ajam (Persian), Turkey, England, France and other countries that a friendship with the kingdom of Aceh Darussalam.
After being examined and juxtaposed with other documents, we got an answer on the diplomatic mission. The purpose is to seek the support of other countries for military incursions to the administrative center Netherlands Indie at Batavia (Java). This tension is caused Netherlands Indie, had taken control of several regions that were once under the control of Aceh Darussalam Kingdom.
This letter is closely related to the letters afterwards. (We will publish on other occasions)
