| Abstract | H. Southgate letter to Justin Perkins in which Southgate notes that Perkins does not need to feel obligated to write Southgate letters of equal length to his own. He writes about (Jacob) Samuel leaving for Georgia, Samuel's future prospects, Samuel's proposed visit to Ooroomiah (Urmia), and the paper regarding Samuel that has been sent to Captain Todd to go to India. Southgate provides his opinions on a possible school in Tabreez (Tabriz), stipends for pupils of mission schools, and missionaries going abroad for education (natives of another nation, especially Muslims, going to the U.S. for missionary training). He responds to information Perkins provided regarding the improving health of individuals, taxes, and the account of Hoernle and Scheider's adventure. Southgate discusses Taliatine, his hopes to leave for Tehran soon, and updates on other missionaries: Mr. Walters and family, Pfander, and Kreis. In the letter, Southgate writes that he sends Perkins a copy of the paper regarding Samuel, but it no longer accompanies this item. |
