| Abstract | M. S. Rice letter to Justin and Charlotte Bass Perkins in which Rice shares that they (at the Nestorian Mission) have prayed for Justin to recover from illness and be able to return. She remarks on the "season of refreshing at Seir," mentioning Danick and his wife and Hormezd's wife and daughter. Rice shares the plans of Sara, Oshana's wife; Hormezd of Aliawa; and Segu of Geog Tapa to go labor in Koordistan (Kurdistan). Rice writes about Guyly, Shlemon's sister; little Gozel; Martha, the daughter of Yakob; Dr. Jospeh's Sara; and the hours of signing in their school (the Nestorian Female Seminary). In closing, she thanks the Perkinses for visiting her father at his death bed. Mar Sergis, Rakhil, Priest Yohannan's daughter, and Henry (Perkins) are also mentioned in the letter. |
