| Abstract | Aug. Walker letter to Justin Perkins in which Walker welcomes Perkins back to his loved labor and expresses his regrets that he did not write to Perkins suggesting he visit them. He references Perkins' visit to Auburndale and says that they are sad of Perkins' loneliness. He comments on news relating to other missionaries, including Mr. Breath, Mr. Dwight, Mr. Riggs, and Mr. and Mrs. Williams and their son. He responds to how Perkins felt about his stay in America, mentioning Mr. Lindley. Walker writes about his own plans for when to go to America and when his wife may go. He notes the blessing of missionaries having parents still alive and asks if it can be right to make such a blessing an excuse to run away from work. He mentions his twin sisters and goes on to discuss "that Mekhill of Mosul." |
