Abstract
Alexander Nisbet letter to Justin Perkins in which Nisbet writes that he received Perkins' note regarding the situation the Nestorians were brought to "by the lawless conduct of their Mohammedan (Muslim) oppressors." He says that their (the British) Ambassador is there and is to give them assistance. He notes that the Ambassador has spoken to the Ameer and someone has been sent to bring "the individual who carried off the girl" to Tabreez (Tabriz). Nisbet writes that the Ambassador will also do what he can on behalf of the Jews and then goes on to share updates on British military officers and diplomats, including Captain Sheil, Sir Henry Bethune, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. McNeill. He also mentions the two hundred Tomans in silver which Perkins should now have.
