Abstract
M. S. Rice letter to Justin Perkins in which Rice writes about the spread of the news that they will return to Persia, mentioning Mr. Breath, Anna, Hormezd, and Judith. She discusses the loss of Mr. Thompson and grief of his widow. Rice says that at their Syriac Monthly Concert, Pera prayed for friends who had yet to hear. She also notes the deaths of several others: David in Malta, one of Deacon's sons, Martha's mother's widowed sister, and Yonan and his wife's son Justin and "their Ripka." She writes of visiting the graveyard in Ada. Rice addresses Charlotte Bass Perkins as "Dear sister," sharing what Hannah told her of Judith (Grant Perkins). She addresses Justin again, discussing the piety of Moressa of Superghan and her husband's drinking. She shares news of Priest Echoo's illness and remarks on Deacon Isaac preaching and teaching the women in Sabbath school. In closing, Rice asks them to make a farewell call to her mother.
