Abstract
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.
