Abstract
S. B. and Maria L. Munger letters to Justin and Charlotte Perkins. S.B. Munger writes to Justin Perkins about his new position in the Jaulnah (Jalna) station of the Mahratta Mission (American Marathi Mission), he and his wife had left Bombay on account of Mrs. Munger's health during the rains and after much traveling and brief stays at a number of locations they are settled in their present location without official permission from the Nizam, but "trusting wholly to divine providence." Munger notes that native regiments officered by Europeans living nearby offers a degree of protection, ease of living, and access to medical aid that would not normally be available. Munger says he does not yet have a congregation but had started one school with expectations of two more and is the only missionary at the station and was in desperate need of helpers, and the Mission struggles to find aid for its labors. On the final page, Maria L. Munger writes to Charlotte Perkins about her joy in receiving Charlotte's letter and states that despite the great distance separating them they share the same task among those who were strangers to God and says that she and her husband derive their "principal encouragement from the word and promises of God."
