Dates	1863-11-30
Abstract	P. O. (Philander O.) Powers letter to Justin Perkins in which Powers writes at the suggestion of his wife. He writes regarding his marriage (to A. E. Crane) and shares his sympathies regarding Perkins' present trials. Powers writes that Mr. (Oliver) Crane wrote him requesting that he take his place in Adrianople. He says he will do so as his wife desires to go and his children, especially Hattie, approve. He remarks that he is dreading breaking up here (at Oneida Lake) but that once back in the missionary field, no doubt he will rejoice. He writes about the trial it will be to leave his children. He comments briefly on public affairs, saying "the doom of slavery is sealed."
