Dates	1837-03-06
Abstract	H. Southgate letter to Justin Perkins in which Southgate explains the changes to his plans since he learned that Mr. Brown will not arrive until spring. He notes that due to the delay they will likely be unable to visit Ooromiah (Urmia). He says that the American Bible Society has made an appropriation to his mission for Bibles in Eastern languages and asks Perkins several questions about his carrying Persian Testaments into Persia and their distribution. He also asks about Mr. Merrick's similar appropriation. Southgate goes on to mention Mr. Holliday (Holladay) and Mr. Brown and his wife. He asks if he can bring anything into Persia for Perkins. In closing, he briefly references the patriarchal circular against missionaries and "missionary-ism," and in a postscript he discusses a package of papers and pamphlets he will forward.
