| Abstract | H.G.O. Dwight letter to Asahel Grant in which Dwight responds to letters from Grant, congratulates him on the birth of his son, and provides his opinions on Grant's proposed visit to the mountain Nestorians. He says that Grant should not feel any haste to go and should place little confidence in a promise of any Kurdish Pasha. He also asks why it is necessary for Brother (Justin) Perkins to go with him and suggests alternatives. Dwight mentions Brother (James Lyman) Merrick, Mr. Barker, and the American Bible Society and provides a copy of a bill for the Syriac Bibles. |
