Abstract
A partial letter from H. W. (Hanna Willard) Lyman presumably to Justin Perkins expressing pleasure at Perkins' prospect of returning to Persia and the Nestorians. Lyman sends greetings and offers help to Mrs. Perkins (Charlotte Bass Perkins) and says she is glad Charlotte "has decided to have Henry in this country" which Lyman feels will be to the boy's advantage. Lyman also discusses "the city" which she notes has more troops in it than there were in all of Canada during the rebellion, mentions Grenadier Guards of the Scotch Fusiliers going up Beaver Hall Hill to the Cathedral, notes she does not believe there will be war between England and America, and shares her thoughts on current events and the Lord's will imploring Perkins to think of "Prof. Peck at Beaufort amongst the contrabands." Lyman also mentions Carter wrote to her regarding the sale of Henry's memoir and notes she wrote to ask Carter on what terms their Societies might be allowed to have it.
