Benjamin Schneider letter to Justin Perkins, 1864 July 14
Schneider, Benjamin, 1807-1877
B. Schneider letter to Justin Perkins in which Schneider writes that they have decided not to endeavor to support a laborer among the Armenians in Perkins' region but their S. School sends money for their Native Helpers among the Armenians. He asks for an account of the doings of the Helper supported. He goes on to write regarding their own local matters, including the S. School, Native Preachers, hopes to build a second church, and the formation of a Pastoral or Presbyterian Association by the Native Pastors. He notes that the missionary in Aintab (Gaziantep) may leave by 1865, that Mr. Birch died while he was in England, that they lost their son James, and that their other two sons are in the Army as well.
