Abstract
George C. Knapp letter to Justin Perkins expressing strong thanks for Perkins' loving and sympathetic letters. Knapp reports that he forwarded the latest Levant Herald and asks for its return because he had the newspapers bound in order to provide work for a poor Protestant in Mush (Muş). Knapp describes daily life stating the theology class keeps everyone busy, he is able to exercise about three hours per day with his wood saw, and he turned the piazza into a gymnasium for his missionary colleagues. Knapp notes his family eats two meals per day, avoids tea and coffee, refrains from eating meat, keeps a cool and airy parlor and study, and follows other hygienic measures. Knapp says he is able to accomplish twice what he used to do as a college student, reports that everyone is well, and that the Lord still blesses him with a loving wife and a happy healthy child.
