Scope and content
This series contains private letters and papers of Field Marshal Sir J L A Simmons RE. They relate mainly to his career in Turkey and the Middle East, especially during the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878, as British Military delegate to the Congress of Berlin in 1878 and immediately afterwards. Also includes, however, papers on eastern affairs and other matters in the 1850s and 1860s, on Russian military intentions in 1891-1896 and some on Simmon's mission to the Vatican in 1889, which followed his period of office as governor of Malta.
