Title	Horatio Southgate letter to Justin Perkins, 1841 February 11
Dates	1841-02-11
Abstract	Horatio Southgate letter to Justin Perkins in which Southgate remarks on the many changes that have occurred since they used to correspond about Southgate's going into Persia. He says he will send Perkins a copy of his book and writes about Perkins' Mission. He remarks that the more he sees of these Christians, the more he feels they must be reformed in their own Churches. He shares his wishes that all, of any denomination, were united in preventing schisms. Southgate responds to Perkins' thoughts of visiting Constantinople, saying he will not be there as he expects to leave for Mesopotamia to see what can be done among the Jacobites. He notes that Mr. Brown was meant to accompany him but has disappointed him again. Southgate also writes of Perkins' importance to the Nestorian Mission.
