He writes regarding his interest in the Nestorian Mission, remarking on Perkins' reception and the suffering he and his wife have undergone. Andrews also writes of his willingness to go wherever God is pleased to make use of his services. He writes from Andover Theological Seminary. Brother Farwell and Amherst College are mentioned in the letter.

Members William George Howard, David Andrews, and Edward Corrie Pritchett write that the society has examined and discussed the conditions that the faculty offered them, presumably referring to the faculty's letter dated November 26, 1834 in Box 1 Folder 48 of this collection. They state that after examination of the specific restrictions which the faculty's letter contained, which they feel deprive the society of all that gives value to any association, the society resolved at the last meeting that their duty as men and Christians forbids them from agreeing to the conditions the faculty submitted. The letter states that Howard, Andrews, and Pritchett, as the undersigned, were appointed to communicate this resolution to the faculty body.
