Besides these, the Seminary has sent up other laborers into the same
field. At the monthly concert in Oroomiah, June, 1858, there were
present four graduates, with their husbands, either going there for
the first time, or returning to resume their labors. Guly, the wife
of Yohanan, who had already spent one year in little Jeloo, was now
about to return there with her husband. Nargis, the wife of Khamis,
who had spent the winter laboring alone in the vicinity of Amadia,
on the Turkish side of the mountains, was now with him, going back
to Gawar. Hannah, the wife of Badal, who had sent her husband, three
days after marriage, to his winter's campaign in the same region,
was now accompanying him to the chosen field of his labors; and
Eneya, the wife of Shlemon, his associate, was also expecting to
leave in a few days.
By the way of introducing the reader to one of these laborers, we
subjoin a letter from Badal to Miss Fiske, dated December 12th,
1859.
