Abstract
Sam A. Rhea letter to Justin Perkins in which Rhea provides extracts from Deacon Joseph's letter regarding Meerza Nejef Ali, "the new Nestorian Agent in Salmas." He firstly explains Joseph's previous purchase of land in Salmas, subsequent building there to serve as a residence and school for Armenian girls, and Joseph and Khoshaba's purchase of a home and lot in Sawoora. He notes that all of these activities were approved by authorities. Rhea then includes the extracts which discuss the activities and character of the new Governor of the Armenians and the Nestorians. In the extracts, Joseph also says that the Governor ordered him not to reside in Salmas, build houses, or open schools. His response to the orders and subsequent interactions are described.
