Abstract
J.P. Riach letter to Justin Perkins in which Riach shares the news of the death of his father and the ill-health of his only sister. He says he does not know enough about what is going on in Tehran to be able to give Perkins any facts from which he could judge the state prospects of Persia and "us" (the British) in it. He expresses how much he enjoyed his recent visit in Ooroomiah (Urmia), shares his distress about Samuel based on a letter received from India, and reminds Perkins to keep him informed about Mar Shimon and Dr. Grant. He also writes regarding Mr. Taliatine and his system of teaching. He suggests Perkins ask Taliatine to visit to see his schools. He mentions the Prince, Armenians, Perkins' two sons, multiple members of the Nestorian Mission, Mr. Southgate, and Nazir Aly Khan's "fat son." Riach notes that he delivered Mr. Stocking's cash to Mr. Nisbet.
