Abstract | P. O. (Philander O.) Powers letter to Justin Perkins in which Philander responds to a letter from Justin regarding the Nestorian Mission. He goes on to discuss his own mission, writing regarding two teachers from the Armenian school, the (Schneiders') experiments to determine if it was practicable to start a girls' school among the Greeks, and opposition to their mission by the Ar. (presumably Armenian) bishop. Philander also congratulates Justin on the birth of his boy. Following Philander's portion, H. G. (Harriet G.) Powers writes to Charlotte Bass Perkins, responding to news of the birth of the Perkinses' child and sharing news regarding others' pregnancies. She asks after Charlotte, remarks on Mr. Merrick going on his way, responds to the request from Mrs. Grant that she write, and shares news from Phillipston (Massachusetts). |
