Abstract
A.H. Wright letter to Justin Perkins in which Wright responds to Perkins marvelling that Wright said nothing of returning to Persia in his January letter by explaining that the N.T. (New Testament) work has kept him. He also expresses his pains at Perkins' statement, "the small type does not take here - I am glad of it, since the edition is to be changed" and responds to Perkins saying the Peshito (Peshitta) is to be set aside. He says it is his understanding that twenty years ago when the Bible Society consented to them putting the Greek readings on the margin it was a compromise meant to be temporary. Wright continues to write on the topic and disagrees with Perkins that the Peshito should be set aside. He writes again the following day about Perkins' solitary position, Benjamin proof-reading, and expecting to hear of the fall of Vicksburg. He notes that Bro. Ambrose was working among the soldiers in Fredericksburg.
