Abstract
William C. Jackson letter to Justin Perkins expressing concern for the extent of illness among Perkins' circle and comments on the political atmosphere between England and Persia that might break down into armed conflict, which Jackson notes would then involve Russia and expand into war in Europe. Jackson comments on Mr. Merrick selecting Tabreez (Tabriz) for his mission station and wonders what success Perkins foresees for an Armenian mission in such a "hard field." Jackson says he will soon go to Erzroom (Erzurum) and asks Perkins to reveal what to expect of his neighbours and neighbourhood. Jackson also writes that he called on eight Armenian families, it being their Christmas, and was well received but feels his labors in that mission are long and his self confidence sometimes wavers.
