Abstract
Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Perkins writes about his family's travels on their return to Germany from Persia, their stops and people they met, illnesses, of being quarantined for seventy days, and a loss the Haas' experienced on their journey, presumably the loss of a child. Haas writes the death of Mr. (Harrison Gray Otis) Dwight's wife (Elizabeth Barker Dwight) and son, John White, from plague. Haas gives Perkins updates on Mr. Hoernle, Mr. Schneider, Mr. Wolters, and other updates from and about the Committee at Basle (Basel Evangelical Missionary Society). Haas references a general commercial crisis afflicting the American states and the possible burden that may place on the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ability to support its people and missions. Haas ruminates on ideas for his future but is waiting on the Lord to direct him and shares ideas with Perkins about mission services he would like to implement. Also mentioned is Mr. and Mrs. Hollander's loss at childbirth, Mar Johanna (Yohannan), and Mar Eli (Elias).
