Abstract
H. B. (Hannah Bates) Smith letter to Charlotte Bass Perkins in which Hannah responds to a letter from Charlotte, remarking on the loss of Charlotte's dear babe. She provides updates on multiple individuals from Middlebury, Vermont. She also writes regarding the ordination of Mr. Robbins as a missionary to Sumatra and mentions other missionary friends. Subsequently, Henry Smith writes to Justin Perkins regarding his upcoming trip to Europe for his college (Marietta), the state of religion in the United States, the state of the A.B.C.F.M. (American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions), updates on individuals (other alumni of Andover Theological Seminary), and contributions to the college's Society of Inquiry from missionaries. In discussing the state of religion, Smith mentions the Presbyterian Church, the Taylorists, and slavery. In a postscript he writes at a later date, saying he sets sail tomorrow and congratulating the Perkinses on their treasure (a child).
