Tyler in which Abraham expresses his joy at receiving a letter from Tyler and his desire that they continue writing one another. He prays that God will grant Tyler and his companions assistance and strength. He assures Tyler that his people who are with them (the missionaries) are pure and intent on good. He remarks that it is a trying time for them due to oppression from the mussulmans (Muslims). Abraham writes about the religious beliefs of the Nestorians and asks Tyler to pray for them, writing of the oppressions they suffer. At a later date, Justin Perkins writes to Tyler regarding Priest Abraham's letter. He notes that the account of the oppressions they suffer is not exaggerated.
