Abstract
Mary C. Lyman letter to Justin Perkins in which Lyman thanks Perkins for his mission work and notes she will communicate that to the Ladies Missionary Society connected with her church and notes that they formerly gave to the Female Seminary but have turned their support to another mission school which has curtailed foreign donations. Lyman references Perkins prospective return to the United States after 35 years of missionary work noting he could do much good in America noting several ways returned missionaries are employed and awaken interest in missionary work. She shares that their new church had opened, talks of faith, and shares her opinions on the view that Christ's cause was retrograding and believes advancement would be more rapid if all who believe were active in the cause. She discusses Dr. Henry Wilkes' attending meetings of the Congregational Union, the Presbyterian Synod, and the Episcopalians.
