| Abstract | James Lyman Merrick letter to Justin Perkins in which Merrick responds to Perkins' inquiry about "a box of newspaper etc. from America" noting the article had not yet arrived but a caravan was expected soon. Merrick relays news of the political conflict between France and the United States and the likelihood of war. He comments on the Persian King's desire for a European school at Teheran (Tehran) and endorses Perkins' opinion that this was the time for evangelical action in Persia. Merrick says he is glad that Perkins has a good home and is no longer subject to the cares and troubles of a pilgrim. Merrick also conveys greetings from Mr. Twig and from Mr. Buchner, who hopes Perkins is blessed with many children. |
