| Abstract | A.P. Goodell (Abigail Perkins Goodell) and W. Goodell (William Goodell) letter to Justin Perkins in which Abigail thanks Perkins for the gift and writes regarding Perkins' book and Mrs. Mason's book that is in "connexion with Mrs. MacLeod Wylie's Work on The Burman Mission." She mentions Mrs. Knapp's house, discusses "your Nestorian" who is living with them as a cook, and notes that Miss Beech is leaving for America. In William's portion of the letter, he shares their sympathies over the separation of Perkins from his wife and son. He also writes regarding his mission's daily prayer meetings, a failed attempt to get up a system of female visitation there, and the status of Reverend Dr. Wood. |
