Abstract
Caleb Mills letter to Justin Perkins in which Mills writes to express his interest in the missionary cause, outlining details of a proposal to support a promising Nestorian youth at Perkins' school in Persia who is preparing to become a teacher and requesting that he be given the English name James Howe for the Reverend of Pepperell, Massachusetts. Mills shares news that the family of Perkins' brother-in-law had suffered from poor health the previous summer and fall. Mills notes he is including a copy of the address given by Reverend Baldwin upon his inauguration as president of Wabash College and a packet from H. D. Humphrey, a college acquaintance of Perkins, and three papers which would shed light on the condition of the Presbyterian church. Mills closed his letter with a farewell, not knowing if he would live to write again. The enclosures mentioned no longer accompany this letter.
