Abstract
George C. Knapp letter to Justin Perkins in which Knapp recounts details of postal deliveries and expresses gratitude for the photograph of Perkins and apologizes for calling Perkins "Father." Knapp says he and his wife had been comforted by Perkins' visit and sympathetic conversation during their recent bereavement. The letters from Perkins' associates had been read with "sacred interest." Knapp notes a recent visit to Mush (Muş, Turkey) to meet with a local preacher had not been successful and says the Kaimakam (Kaymakam) had also been at Mush following the liberation by armed "Koords" (Kurds) of over a hundred prisoners. Knapp describes a protestant Thanksgiving celebration and says that they will open their school for young men. Knapp also mentions the Burbanks and that Lizzie (likely Mary Elizabeth Knapp) is improving.
