I have endeavored in every way possible to temporize and stare off trouble, but it loot at this distance as if it is impossible. From the number of demands and threats and demonstrations on the past of the governor of Adaua(?) and from the closing of churches and schools at Beylace(?) and Anistab(?) it appears that the Armenians question and other difficulties are on in this district not with the violence and activity that mark affairs on the far interior had with difficult force to alarm our Missionaries and to call for the powerful protection | 15Sir,
