Abstract
Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Haas discusses Mr. (Christian Gottlieb) Hoernle and Mr. (Friedrich Eduard) Schneider leaving for Isfahan and notes Perkins' better ability to keep Hoernle's spirits up and hopes Perkins will excuse Schneider's haste. Haas discusses his son Victor's health and education and that he and Mrs. Haas are happy to know Victor is happy and safe but implore that he return once Dr. Grant feels Urmia is of no advantage to his health. Haas mentions letters he is enclosing from Constantinople and notes that Mr. Ellis and Sir Henry Bethune are expected in Tabriz. Haas tells Perkins of a conversation he had with Chief Mushtahid (Mujtahid) about their religious beliefs, of the Gospel and Mohammed, and other topics of peace and friendship, and tells Perkins that if he had time to tell of everything that he had seen and heard, that Perkins would "laugh and weep." In closing, Haas mentions the improved health of Mrs. Perkins (Charlotte Bass Perkins) and the Perkins' new little boy and that Nicolas is to go to Wan with books.
