Abstract
A partial letter from Friedrich Haas to Justin Perkins in which Haas writes of the welcome news of Victor's improved health and makes arrangements for Victor's return to Tabriz. Haas notes he is sending letters and goods, and shares news of departing members of his mission and laments the small number of Europeans remaining in Tabriz. Haas discusses the oppression of the Nestorians by the "Mohammedans" (Muslims) and Mr. Nisbet's appeal to Mr. Ellis who asked the Nestorians to make an appeal stating their case. Haas says nothing is likely to be done until the Amyr returns who left to meet the Prince Kariman Mirsa, who will have command of civil affairs in Aderbeidjan (Azerbaijan). Haas states he was quite provoked about an event that took place in Oormia (Urmia) amongst the Jews and mentions their "barbarous oppression." General Lindsey (Sir Henry Bethune), Dr. McNeill, Mr. Hornle, Dr. Riach, Mr. Merrick, Dr. Grant, Mirsa Asadoollah (Mirsa Asadullah), and Mr. Wolter's quarantine are also mentioned.
