Abstract
Alzina M. C. Knapp letter to Justin Perkins thanking him for sending her a copy of his book, Missionary Life in Persia, but states that her sick daughter, "wee baby," and work at the mission had delayed her opportunity to read his book until recently and thanks Perkins for the gift. Knapp tells Perkins that they feared they would lose George (George Perkins Knapp) but things had improved somewhat. Knapp expresses anxiety at the thought of losing another child and mentions the Burbanks' (Lysander T. and Sarah S. Burbank) reaction to the loss of their son, Harry. Knapp also shares that a young member of the theology class was lying deathly ill of "Typhus fever" in Mr. Knapp's study whose devoted parents were not supportive of his acceptance of the missionaries and were not friendly to the Knapps. Knapp recounts the joy experienced by members of the Bitlis missionary station on reading Perkins' amusing description of his visit there and notes the mission was also pleased to hear news of the awakening at Oroomiah (Urmia).
