Abstract
George C. Knapp letter to Justin Perkins concerning the delivery among mission stations of packages, letters, and news. Knapp references an editorial which claimed civilization had advanced in Turkey more in the last fifty years than in the preceding two hundred, however Knapp notes it failed to credit what "pure Christianity" had contributed to that change. Knapp informs Perkins that Lizzie died on October 9 and that Mrs. Knapp (Alzina M. C. Knapp) "had looked forward to such an event with fearful misgivings lest she should fail to endure the separation" and says the care and anxiety has weakened her health but the Lord sustained them both. Knapp thanks Perkins for the consoling letter and for sharing a photograph of his son and says they pray for his progress and continuing solace to the Perkins. Knapp closed his letter with items concerning mission stations, acquaintances and colleagues, and shared news of success and trial.
