Abstract
E. Robinson letter to Justin Perkins in which Robinson responds to a letter from Perkins with Syriac documents accompanying it. He notes that it was forwarded to him from Constantinople through the Prussian Embassy. He mentions Professors Ritter (Carl Ritter), Petermman, and Roediger (Emil Rödiger). Robinson writes regarding Perkins' letter about "the three Nestorian or Catholic vagabonds" who visited Berlin and London last year. He goes on to say that Roediger has proposed to publish a fuller account of the Syriac language as now spoken among the Nestorians. He writes about modern Syriac, ancient Chaldee and Syriac, and the Servian and Illyrian languages. Robinson shares that his own time is entirely devoted to his book on Palestine.
