Abstract
Harrison O. Howland letter to Justin Perkins in which Howland writes as secretary of the (Amherst College) association of Friends. He states the original and continued object of the society "to excite and perpetuate a missionary spirits in our hearts & in the hearts of those with whom we associate." He writes regarding their feeling that this object would be promoted by correspondence with missionaries and asks Perkins to write them something that will increase interest and be of value in directing their course. He also asks particular questions relevant to students interested in becoming missionaries and updates Perkins on the current status of the society. The letter is on stationery that includes a printed lithograph of Amherst College by Moore's Lithography in Boston and signed "H.G. Van Lennep" (presumed to be Henry J. Van Lennep).
