At foot: Dr. Perkins [i.e. Justin Perkins] has sent to the Missionary House [i.e. Boston publishing house for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions] this letter of Deacon Moses (which he has had the kindness to translate), to the end that others may share with him the joy afforded by its simple story. It may possibly occur to Christians in the United States, after hearing what the Lord has been pleased to do in Persia, that the same "grace of God" bestowed upon our churches, would keep the board from the possibility of closing the present financial year with a heavy debt."
