Peabody letter to Justin Perkins in which Peabody writes to say that they enjoyed the visit of Brother S. (Stoddard) & family. He notes that they (the Stoddards) felt embarrassed in regard to going on to C. due to cholera there. Peabody says they are anxious about them since they've heard that cholera has broken out at Trebizond (Trabzon) and the quarantine is crowded with soldiers. He goes on to discuss cholera outbreaks and the effects in other locations, including Kharpoot (Harpoot), Erzeryum (Erzurum), Broosa (Bursa), and Smyrna (İzmir). He expresses his concern for one of their native brethren that they sent to some of those places. In closing he briefly discusses politics, mentioning the Mexican Congress, the Whigs, the Treaty, General Taylor, and General Cass. Josiah Peabody letter to Justin Perkins, 1848 July 31 Sumner G.
