Abstract
Thomas P. Johnston letter to Justin Perkins in which Johnston thanks Perkins for his letter and explains his delay in responding. Jackson writes of learning about Perkins' mission suffering from "domestic afflictions" and says it's fortunate that there was a physician. Jackson says that from what Perkins has reported of events at Van that he is encouraged to expect a glorious reformation in the oriental churches and notes that although progress at his mission at Trebizond (Trabzon,) is slow he does not despair. Jackson tells Perkins the Greeks and Armenians were friendly and he believes he could open a school if he had some good teachers and reports that shipments to Perkins had been detained at Erzeroom (Erzurum) and Trebizond and mentions boxes for Dr. Grant have been forwarded. Johnston regrets that the German brethren appear to be leaving Persia and asks if there was news of brother Merrick (James Lyman Merrick). Johnston comments on his impression of Mr. Holladay (Albert Lewis Holladay) with whom he had some acquaintance while a student in Virginia.
