Abstract
J. Perkins letter to Edward and Orra White Hitchcock in which Perkins shares thanks from him and Mrs. P. (Charlotte Bass Perkins) to the Hitchcocks and other friends in Amherst for the box and contributions therein. He says that the letter in the portion from the north part of their parish was mislaid and he cannot remember the name of the writer, so Perkins asks that the Hitchcocks send them a note. He writes about the clothing contributions and goes on to discuss their journey back to Persia and current situation. He mentions Miss Fisk (Fiske), notes mineral specimens he has picked up which he will forward, and remarks on the damage to Khoy from an earthquake. He also thanks them for the letter and copy of Hitchcock's Geology sent to the Prince. In a postscript he provides updates on the health of their little girl and mentions the bishop.
