Abstract | Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Haas notes he will send goods to Perkins. Haas also writes of good news about his son Victor's time with Perkins and the air of Ourmia (Urmia) being good for Victor. Haas informs Perkins that his mission has been called up by their Committee (Basel Evangelical Missionary Society) to increase their activity and have received an invitation from Isfahan but his group is of the opinion it would be wrong to move the mission, and as such may have to act with or without support. Haas discusses the state of the region, that a crises seems an apparent thing for Persia and expresses his sentiment that it would be a good thing for the people and that what ever happens it will "serve the promotion of the Kingdom of our blessed Lord." Haas mentions the Amyr is currently in Tabriz but is quiet about the dealings of his enemies at Teheran (Tehran). Haas also mentions Mr. Hoernle, Mrs. Perkins (Charlotte Bass Perkins) and the birth of a son (William Riach Perkins), Kahn's studies, and Mr. Merrick's health. |
