Abstract	George C. Knapp letter to Justin Perkins. Knapp discusses the return to Turkey after their leave in America, unpacking furniture and setting up housekeeping.

Knapp mentions his feelings about Perkins leaving his missionary work and his regrets that Perkins' health was not good and encourages Perkins to visit Bitlis on his return to America.
