| Abstract | Benj Labaree letter to Justin Perkins in which Labaree writes regarding Mr. Rhea's translation work and the possibility of him undertaking the preparation of the Scriptures in Turkish. He notes that Rhea is anxious to go to Tabriz and that he proposes Perkins go with him. Labaree agrees with this idea and suggests that a visit from Perkins would have a happy effect upon Mr. Abbott and make a favorable impression upon the provincial authorities. He says perhaps Perkins could make arrangements for his absence and mentions the ministers of the Rays of Light. |
