Abstract
James Lyman Merrick letter to Justin Perkins in which Merrick writes about mail service and of the many problems involved in arranging and paying for the delivery of packages, especially in winter. Merrick transcribes a portion of a letter dated November 2, 1839 from Mr. Nisbet who was offended to learn that a private and distressing incident involving his daughter, Maria, had been made public in a published copy of Perkins' sermon preached without his consent or knowledge and notes that if additional information, which had been shared in confidence with Merrick, was also made public Nisbet would suffer more severe pain. However Merrick, upon reflection, feels the allusion in Perkins' sermon was justly excusable and no one would question his motive. Merrick references a man he supposes had hoped might find employment in Tabreez (Tabrīz) in the spring was now working instead at Ooroomiah (Urmia ) and there was no need to pursue the matter further if the arrangement was satisfactory.
