Abstract
E. Breath (Edward Breath) letter to Justin Perkins in which Breath writes that after considerable effort by Dr. (Wright), "the way is at last opened for our departure." He writes of "the bey" returning from his hunting and says that his departure for the country of Bader Khan Bey (also called Bedr Khan Beg) will be delayed. Breath writes of interactions with the Chief including a conversation about a Bible in which was written "presented to Mar Shimon, Patriarch of the Nestorians by the American Bible Society." He also writes of the Mudebbir. Breath goes on to discuss the status and treatment of Nestorians, the feeling between the people of different districts, and the desire for the return of the Patriarch. He says the people feel that the Patriarch is detained by the English Consul and the Pasha. Breath also writes of Julamerk and their travel plans.
