Abstract | Friedrich Haas letter to Justin Perkins in which Haas informs Perkins about events concerning the "stolen girl and her pretended robber" who was taken and converted to Islam and the aftermath of the girl confessing herself a Musulman (Muslim). Haas discusses the Amyr, Ismael Kahn, Mr. Nisbet (Alexander Nisbet), Mr. Ellis, Mr. Burgess, the Ambassador, the Russian consul, Mar Elias, the Nestorians, the Mustahid (mujtahid), the girl, her family, and himself in regards to this event and of confrontations told to him by Mar Elias and Mr. Nisbet. Haas notes the Nestorian fate regarding staying in Persia under protection or leaving for Russia is still unsettled and states that Mr. Nisbet felt the girl converted quite of her own will and that she wished to be protected by the Musulmen (Muslims) against her own people. Haas also speaks of his disappointment about the Nestorian's false reports about this event. |
