| Abstract | H.G.O. Dwight letter to Justin Perkins and Asahel Grant in which Dwight thanks both of them for their sympathising letters. He says that he is now nearly settled in Mr. (William) Goodell's family and is getting back into the regular duties of the mission again. He writes of his loneliness after the loss of his wife and with his family scattered, noting that only his son Charles is with him now. Dwight discusses his faith in God and his blessings, including that his two other boys are provided for in Broosa (Bursa). He remarks on the (Syriac) type Perkins wrote about and Grant's inquiries regarding postage charges. |
