Abstract
Benj Labaree letter to Justin Perkins in which Labaree says that he will not argue further on the subject though he hopes Perkins will look more favorably on the plan of accompanying Mr. Rhea before the time of going arrives. He writes regarding their independence of action and relations with the Chamakee people and Mirza Nejjef Ali. He writes of Ali's recent commission of Colonel, increase in position, aims to be the governor of all the Christians, and suggestion that the missionaries petition the Prince through himself for the recovery of Mr. Shedd's property. In a postscript, Labaree asked to be loaned Lady Sheil's work on Persia.
