Title	P. P. Zohrab letter to Justin Perkins, 1837 January 7
Dates	1837-01-07
Abstract	P.P. Zohrab letter to Justin Perkins in which Zohrab notes Perkins' improved health and says that as soon as Mr. Brant arrives there Mr. Abbott will leave to establish himself at Tabreez (Tabriz). He writes about politics, mentioning the "Rebel Ravendooz Bey" and Reshen. He says it is a pity the latter "did not live long enough to finish the compete subjugation of all the Kurds." He goes on to note T.G., who drops in occasionally, and gentlemen from the Euphrates Expedition who recently visited. Zohrab writes about a passage of Mr. Smith's book in which he was discussed and about political news relating to the British fleet, a "slight attempt at a revolution" in France, Louis Napoleon’s activities, the removal of the Reis Effendi in Constantinople, and the effects of this removal on British and Russian influence on the Divan.
