Abstract
G. Hoernle letter to Justin Perkins in which Hoernle writes regarding the decision of their society (Basel Evangelical Missionary Society) to end their missionary labors in Persia. He explains the reasons why he is not being transferred to Ourmia (Urmia) but instead is going to Agra, a large "Moh." (Muslim) city in Bengal. He mentions Mr. Merrick's remark about a standing rule among the "A. Board of F. Miss." (American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions) that only Americans should be employed in their service. Hoernle also explains that he cannot spend the winter with Perkins as he must prepare and remarks on the expenses for Perkins' box to America.
