Abstract
Keith Edward Abbott confidential letter presumably to Justin Perkins in which Abbott conveys a message that was left by the new agent for the superintendence of the affairs of the Christians of Oroomiah (Urmia), Salmas, and another illegible location (possibly Khoy or Khosroabad). The statement notes the sects of Christianity that the government recognizes and includes restrictions on the actions of the missionaries in relation to proselytizing, schools, property, printing, ringing of church bells, funds, and churches. Abbott also writes regarding his thoughts on the statement and mentions the Lazarists' influence. Abbott goes on to write of Dr. Young, Mr. Alison (Charles Alison), the possible governor of Oroomiah, Bekky, and current events in Europe. The chief of all the native Christians of Azerbaijan and the agent appointed to act under his orders are both named in the letter, but illegibly.
