| Dates | 1836-12-20 |
| Abstract | Ed Zohrab letter to Justin Perkins in which Zohrab notes that the plague continues its ravages at Constantinople, with six to eight thousand dying weekly, and has broken out again at Trebizond (Trabzon). He says that they are expecting to see Mr. Brant soon and because he will likely require Zohrab's assistance, Zohrab will not be able to visit Perkins. He mentions Mr. Abbott, and he writes regarding the change in the ministry at Constantinople which he says is a mortal blow to Russia since all the present ministers are anti-Russian. Zohrab expresses his hopes that a similar change will occur in Persia, mentions the cold weather, notes that Mr. Fraser and the two Persian princes are on their way back to Persia, and says he is sending Perkins newspapers. |
