| Abstract | Benj Labaree letter to Justin Perkins in which Labaree reports on the health of Miss Rice and thanks Perkins for the particulars in regard to Mr. Thompson and the delegations. He mentions Deacon Ishak. He says he feels adrift about Nestorian affairs and provides his negative opinions about the Nestorian people. He discusses Mar Yohannan, Yonan, the Malek, and leadership in general amongst the Nestorians. Labaree says that his chief comfort is in President Johnson's sentiment, "that time is an important element in reform," and writes specifically about the people of Gavalan (Gavlan, Urmia). Baboona, Jaffar Koolif Agha, and Yahya Khan are also discussed. |
