Haas notes the man who was to deliver them, a "Raïat" of Hussein Khan Beg named Ibrahim Kerbatai Mahmed Ogli, may have made a stop which could account for the delay and Haas notes the items that were sent and that he is sending new items with this letter. Haas goes on to inform Perkins of the carpets and cloths at the Bazaar, noting the cost of the carpets and requesting Perkins let him know if he wishes Haas to get them. Haas informs Perkins that he has enclosed a letter from Constantinople (Istanbul) with news that Dr. McNeill (Sir John McNeill) has been appointed as first secretary to the Embassy. Haas mentions Mr. Hoernle, Victor, Captain Johnston, Dr. Grittour, Mr. Merrick (James Lyman Merrick), and Mrs. Perkins (Charlotte Bass Perkins) in the letter.

Hoernle to Justin Perkins in which Hoernle instructs Perkins to send him a letter in English which he will translate to Persian and deliver to the governor. He also writes regarding items Perkins' requested which Hoernle is now sending to him and lists the items and their costs. He remarks on the news of Perkins' son William's good health and shares news regarding the poor health of the Welliyāt (Valiāt). He says that it is reported that Kariman Mirsa gave him poison. In a postscript he says that his "pentograph" (presumably pantograph) is not a good one and recommends Perkins get a good one from his country. Christian Gottlieb Hoernle partial letter to Justin Perkins, 1837 March 28 Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins, 1836 March 26 Haas, Christoph Friedrich, 1801-1882 Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Haas talks of his return from a visit to Perkins and gives his thanks to Perkins, Mrs. Perkins (Charlotte Bass Perkins) and Dr. and Mrs. Grant (Asahel and Judith S. Grant). He writes of goods he is sending and their costs as well as encouraging Stephan to return to Perkins in Oormia (Urmia) and the providence of the Lord to arrange it. Haas says the Amyr proposes to go down to Oormia in the coming months. Haas asked Captain Sheil if he had apprehensions that Oormia might be attacked by the Kurds if the Persians are beaten in the mountains, which Haas says Sheil thinks it likely and if so, the American Missionaries should withdraw from Oormia and go to Salmas. Haas says he has received news from Basle (Basel Evangelical Missionary Society) about expanding their missionary labours and establishing a school in Teheran (Tehran). In closing he notes that he is not likely to go to Teheran this time and that encouraging news came from Isfahan and Mr. Hornle and Mr. Scneider will visit the Armenians.
