Abstract
A letter from James Davis of the Evangelical Alliance to Justin Perkins. Davis writes to say he has received Perkins' letter and shared with the council who were gratified to hear of Perkins' safe arrival and the welfare of "our beloved Nestorian Brothers." Davis notes that "world tidings reach us often" and the Evangelical Alliance is encouraged to continue their annual council of prayer and that they will send Perkins a circular for 1864. Davis mentions the continued oppression of the Nestorians by their Mohammadan (Muslim) neighbors and hoped that the British Counsel in Persia would have stopped the acts of injustice and offered protection to the Christian population. Davis offers to bring the subject before the Earl Russell and before the Persian Ambassador but wants to proceed with specific facts rather than general statements. He asks Perkins to provide him with instances of oppression that Perkins can vouch for.
