Abstract
J. Salter letter to Justin Perkins in which Salter writes from the Strangers' Home for Asiatics. He writes regarding Adam and his companion and their fundraising efforts. He goes on to discuss money coming to Oroomiah (Urmia), the Syriac scriptures Perkins sent, and the polyglot Gospel of John which he himself is compiling. He updates Perkins on his "work on the Nestorians," mentioning Assemani, Layard's Nineveh, and the massacre under Beder Khan (also called Bader or Bedr Khan Beg). Salter asks if he can help with the cut off in correspondence with Erz (presumably Erzurum) that Perkins is experiencing. In closing, he writes of his faith in God and hope for the time when Jesus will reign.
