| Abstract | A document, presumably a draft of an article, with an in illegible signature and titled Journal of an Excursion From Ooromiah to Tabreez. Three journal entries are included, and the writer discusses his journey from Ooromiah, Persia (Urmia, Iran) to Gavalan (Gavlan, Urmia) and finally to Tabreez, Persia (Tabriz, Iran). Mr. Holladay (Albert L. Holladay) and Hussein Beg are mentioned. He also writes regarding his thoughts on what he sees as a change in the attitudes of the "Mahommedans" (Muslims) towards Christians and Europeans. He proposes that Christians, specifically Protestants, have a duty to "strengthen their estrangement from the false prophet." |
