Mr. Weber reached here on the evening of the 28th of March and the first information(?) we had of his arrival was the announcement of his death the folowing morning.

All that we could learn of the case from the authorities here was that he had been arrested on suspicion (an old man of 70, not knowing any of the language of the country, could not have been a very suspicious character) by the Vali(?) of Koniah(?) and was being taken to Constantinople.

We have no information of his journey from Koniah(?) to Kutahya(?) , we do not know how long he had been on the way, to what storms and cold he had been exposed without any suitable protection for he was very thinly clad, we do not know how many nights, hungry, [ ] and sick, he had faced in filthy prisons or what indignities he had to endure from criminals of every class into whose company he was every evening [ ].
