Abstract
Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Haas describes an incident in which a Nestorian girl was taken. Haas relays that after Mr. Ellis' interference for the Nestorians, an ambassador was went to Ourmia (Urmia) to find the robber of the girl. Haas mentions the Amyr told the Ambassador that if robber is found guilty he should be put to death which Haas feels is quite suitable to frighten the Mohamedans (Muslims) and to procure quietness for the Nestorians. Haas goes on to discuss the Nestorian request to be put under English protection and the response of Mr. Ellis and Mr. Nisbet. Haas talks of Victor's safe return and thanks Perkins for sending him the report of Perkins' Society (American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions) and notes the differences with his own Society (Basel Evangelical Missionary Society). Mr. Merrick, Mr. Wolters, Mr. Pfander, Mr. Kreiss, Kariman Mirsa and the Kurdish campaign, Mrs. Haas' confinement, and the health of "dear little William" (William Riach Perkins) are all mentioned in the letter.
