| Abstract | A.H. Wright letter to Justin Perkins in which Wright notes the arrival of Perkins to the country (the United States) and responds to a letter from Perkins. He remarks on Perkins' joy in England and asks about Perkins' plans and prospects. He also writes about the cheering news from Oroomiah (Urmia). He says he is enclosing a letter from Mr. Breath and shares news from Mr. Rhea about donations, news about a Persian Bible being read at a Mollah's in Khoy, and other mission news from Priest Eshoo and Joseph. He also says that Mrs. Wright is sick, provides updates on their travels in the U.S., and notes that his head is easily confused though his general health is good. |
