Zohrab letter to Justin Perkins in which Zohrab notes Perkins' improved health and says that as soon as Mr. Brant arrives there Mr. Abbott will leave to establish himself at Tabreez (Tabriz). He writes about politics, mentioning the "Rebel Ravendooz Bey" and Reshen. He says it is a pity the latter "did not live long enough to finish the compete subjugation of all the Kurds." He goes on to note T.G., who drops in occasionally, and gentlemen from the Euphrates Expedition who recently visited. Zohrab writes about a passage of Mr. Smith's book in which he was discussed and about political news relating to the British fleet, a "slight attempt at a revolution" in France, Louis Napoleon’s activities, the removal of the Reis Effendi in Constantinople, and the effects of this removal on British and Russian influence on the Divan.

Zohrab letter to Justin Perkins, 1837 January 7 Edward Zohrab letter to Justin Perkins, 1836 December 20 Zohrab, Edward Ed Zohrab letter to Justin Perkins in which Zohrab notes that the plague continues its ravages at Constantinople, with six to eight thousand dying weekly, and has broken out again at Trebizond (Trabzon). He says that they are expecting to see Mr. Brant soon and because he will likely require Zohrab's assistance, Zohrab will not be able to visit Perkins. He mentions Mr. Abbott, and he writes regarding the change in the ministry at Constantinople which he says is a mortal blow to Russia since all the present ministers are anti-Russian. Zohrab expresses his hopes that a similar change will occur in Persia, mentions the cold weather, notes that Mr. Fraser and the two Persian princes are on their way back to Persia, and says he is sending Perkins newspapers.
