| Abstract | Charles Stoddard letter to Justin Perkins in which Stoddard responds to a letter from Perkins. He writes about Mr. Breath and says he hears very little of Mr. Merrick, noting the opposition from within and without that the Nestorian Mission has had. He expresses his anxiety over the effects of the repeated attacks on his brother's health (David Tappan Stoddard). Stoddard also writes regarding the health of Mrs. P. (Charlotte Bass Perkins), the Perkinses' daughter (Judith Grant Perkins), a lack of funds coming in (for foreign missions), and the separation from the old formal Armenian Church by the Evangelicals in Turkey. He notes that Perkins' has permission to publish the Bible as he desires. |
