Ward letter to Justin Perkins, 1863 August 7 Ward, Langdon S. L.S. Ward of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions letter to Justin Perkins in which Ward transcribes a letter written on July 31, 1863 from J.C. Gallup in Clinton, NY to James M. Gordon in Boston which contains a complaint that Ward is referring to Perkins. Ward notes the complaint was previously referred to Miss Fisk (Fiske) but did not seem to satisfy. In the transcribed letter, Gallup notes that Perkins previously proposed to their S.S. (presumably Sabbath School) association a plan of raising money for a native Nestorian preacher among the "Koords" (Kurds). Gallup writes that they have raised more than planned but have not heard from anyone in Persia in acknowledgement and says it would be a pleasure for the children to know something of what is being done with their contributed money.
