| Abstract | L.T. Burbank (Lysander T. Burbank) letter to Justin Perkins in which Burbank writes that Bro. K. (George C. Knapp) and family will be unable to visit Perkins this autumn as due to Lizzie's health they must turn to Erzroom (Erzurum). He says that they fear Lizzie is following Arthur to his heavenly home with the same disease and in addition to her bowel complaint she now has ophthalmia. He also writes of his family's bouts of ophthalmia, mentioning Mrs. B. (Sarah S. Burbank) and Harry. Burbank notes that affairs at Moosh (Muş) are in need of their presence, but they don't know how it is possible for one of them to visit. He also writes of the progress of their work in Bitlis and asks after several of Perkins' fellow missionaries. |
