Abstract
Joseph Reed letter to Justin Perkins in which Reed responds to the news that the Turkies (turkeys) he sent Perkins died, negatively commenting on Persians. He shares news regarding physicians of the Prince Royal and the King, two missionaries to the Jews, the Shah's health, and Count Satiges' expected appointment as Chargé d'Affaires. Reed also writes about "the dreadful engagement between our troops and the Seiks of Lahore," the appointment of Meerza Ibraheem (Mīrzā Muhammed Ibrāhīm) as English Tutor to the Heir Apparent, the discussions between Persia and Turkey, the increased price of grains, and the health of his family and members of their mission. Mentioned in the letter are Dr. Cormick, H.M. (presumably Hājī Mīrzā Āghāsī), Dr. Bell, Dr. Cadé, Mr. Guizot, Stern, Sternshass (Sternschuss), Major D'Arcy Todd, Sir Robert Sale, Meerza Ibraheem's wife, Colonel Sheil, and Colonel Farrant.
