A letter from missionary Justin Perkins to Edward Hitchcock describing the geology of Persia (now known as Iran). He discusses a bottle of water from the Caspian Sea and a box of geological specimens Perkins collected from the region, both of which were sent separately from the letter. This letter contains a more elaborate description of the cave first described in Perkins's letter of 1844 July 25 and includes a sketch of a cross section of the cave.
