Abstract
George C. Knapp letter to Justin Perkins in which Knapp informs Perkins of the delivery of mail, newspapers, and packages among missionary stations in western Turkey and Persia and says mail from Erzroom (Erzurum) now reaches Knapp weekly and wishes to know how the speed of his shipments to Perkins compared to those coming from Tabreez (Tabriz). Knapp reports that Consul Taylor had obtained an order from the pasha to the Caimacam (Kaymakam) at Mush (Muş) concerning "the trouble the Armenians have this past spring given our Protestants" and notes this was an important service to the mission station at Bitlis. Knapp asks advice about the route to travel, about appropriate travelling companions, and whether his schedule would allow for visiting with Perkins and certain of his colleagues. Knapp closes by thanking Perkins for his "two good letters in May" and for the "colored picture alphabet" he had sent to Georgie Knapp.
