Abstract
Geo. Woodfall letter to Justin Perkins in which Woodfall says that Hafiz Pasha was defeated by Ibrahim Pasha, the Koords (Kurds) are out plundering, and Ibrahim is advancing into Turkish Territory. He mentions Mr. Ainsworth and says he fears these disturbances will prevent Dr. Grant from his tour. He notes that they are quiet there (in Baghdad). Woodfall shares news from India and asks Perkins to retain his present from the Society. He mentions Colonel Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. Nesbit, and Mr. Lynch. He also remarks on the weather, Dr. Grant leaving the region, and the marriage of Mr. Merrick. He says that he is afraid the (British) officers will not return to Persia at present. Woodfall mentions one of Perkins' pupils turning unto the Lord, one young Armenian man there (in Baghdad), and the Report of the Board of Foreign Missions.
