Abstract
Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Haas informs Perkins of the fate of the men who assailed him, noting Mr. MacNeil (Sir John McNiell) has procured a Firman from the King to punish them. Haas says the Amyr would have taken care of it and punished them "like the robber of the Nestorian girl." Haas shares information he learned about Don Isa, a Catholic Bishop at Selmas, who said Perkins was only preparing the way by convincing the Nestorians of the Divinity of Christ and that eventually they would all become his (the Bishop's) property. Haas responded that the Nestorians need not be convicted of this, they already believed it, and that only their enemies "wish to prove them their unbelief in this dogma." Haas tells Perkins to relay this to his Nestorians and keep their eye against the Catholics so they won't be deceived. In addition, Haas tells Perkins of a conversation his Servant, Nicolas, had with Colonel Shel (likely Colonel Sheil) who did not speak well of Mr. Nisbet, Mr. Merrick, and the German and American missionary presence. Haas goes on to discuss goods and the progress of Perkins' school.
