Abstract
Justin Perkins letter to B.B. Edwards in which Perkins thanks Edwards for his letter and a Prospectus of the Repository. He explains his delay in responding as he had to go to Erzeroom (Erzurum) to assist Holladay and Stocking with languages. He answers Edwards' question about European travelers in these regions, writing about Monsieur Auchet Eloy (Aucher-Éloy), Mr. William Hamilton, and James Brant. He says that the English Embassy in Persia is doing little of a literary nature at present but mentions Mr. McNeill's past articles. Perkins also discusses the newspaper published by the Lithographic Press under the auspices of the king. He writes about Mt. Ararat and indications of former volcanic action in regions west and south of it. He also responds to Edwards' request for an article relative to the Nestorians.
