Abstract
J. Salter letter to Justin Perkins in which Salter writes from the Strangers' Home for Asiatics. He expresses his pleasure in receiving Yohanan's (Yohannan) Syriac note from Constantinople and Perkins' from Trebizond (Trabzon). He discusses their letters and public interest in them, hopes Perkins and his company have returned safely, and shares his sympathies towards the Nestorian Christians. Salter says he has commenced a work to make the Nestorians better known but doesn't know when, if ever, it will be completed. He goes on to discuss the many friends who wish to be remembered to Perkins, most of whom are reverends. He asks about the Syriac scriptures and other books in modern Syriac mentioned in Stoddard's grammar and writes of encouragement for Perkins work.
