Abstract
J. Perkins letter to William S. Tyler in which Perkins writes about the death of Stoddard from typhus fever. He responds to news from Tyler that he is again engaged in his work at the college (Amherst College). He asks Tyler to give his attention to preparing a memoir of Dr. Lobdell as Mr. Seelye has given the matter up. He also asks him to ride to Northampton and give his sympathy to Stoddard's friends and family there. Perkins remarks on letters by Tyler in the Congregationalist and responds to Tyler's hope about the result of the Presidential election. He says that to them there it seems the whole country (the United States) will soon be enslaved or the union will soon be severed. He also notes that the war between England and Persia does not greatly trouble the mission and provides updates on the mission and its schools.
