J. Perkins letter to William S. Tyler in which Perkins responds to Tyler's letter and news of his marriage. He shares news of the death of their only son, William, writes about their grief, and shares news of the birth of a daughter who is now six months old.

Perkins also remarks on Priest Abraham and provides updates on their mission, native pastors, congregations, seminary, and press. He notes trials, including the Papists pouring in upon them.
