| Abstract | Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Haas responds to Perkins' inquiry about letters and parcels that had not yet reached Perkins. Haas notes the man who was to deliver them, a "Raïat" of Hussein Khan Beg named Ibrahim Kerbatai Mahmed Ogli, may have made a stop which could account for the delay and Haas notes the items that were sent and that he is sending new items with this letter. Haas goes on to inform Perkins of the carpets and cloths at the Bazaar, noting the cost of the carpets and requesting Perkins let him know if he wishes Haas to get them. Haas informs Perkins that he has enclosed a letter from Constantinople (Istanbul) with news that Dr. McNeill (Sir John McNeill) has been appointed as first secretary to the Embassy. Haas mentions Mr. Hoernle, Victor, Captain Johnston, Dr. Grittour, Mr. Merrick (James Lyman Merrick), and Mrs. Perkins (Charlotte Bass Perkins) in the letter. |
