| Abstract | A.H. Wright letter to Justin Perkins in which Wright writes about his, Mr. Breath's, and Deacon Tamo's travels and meeting Nestorians as they travel. He also writes regarding the Meera's household and the castle of (Kurdish) chief in Julamerk (Hakkari). He remarks on the oppression of Nestorians there and shares his plan for preaching should they be permitted to go through the Nestorian districts. He expresses his anxiety about his family, especially Lucy. He says if Breath decides to leave him these parts, his present feeling is that it would be one of the saddest times of his life when he bids him adieu. |
