Abstract
Thomas P. Johnston letter to Justin Perkins in which Johnston references his return to Trebizond (Trabzon) and mentions he has had no news about Perkins' departure from Erzroom for Oormia and notes his concern for Perkins' safe arrival. Johnston also expresses concern for the critical state of Dr. Grant's family. Johnston references the increase of missionaries and shares an Armenian priest's opinion that "God has now cast his eye upon this part of the world." Johnston reminds Perkins and his colleagues to communicate frequently and mentions Merrick (James Lyman Merrick) and Southgate and predicts a "very refreshing season" for Perkins' missionary station if health and lives are spared and hopes Merrick's courage would be renewed during his stay at Oormiah and mentions Mar Yohanna (Mar Yohannan).
