attention family confusion with No. 738 [??]

                  Those two boys Kevork and Krikor have till now been in a Kourdish village near Diarbekir.  

                  They were taken out of the caravan by a Kourd who treated them as slaves. The boys had to do hard work, were shepherds and servants. They were often beaten cruelly. Also they suffered on account of their being among Mohammedans.  

                  Several times they tried to flee but were always caught again and brought back to their owner. One day they succeeded and reached Ras-el-Ain. There our agent found them and sent them on to us.  

                  Krikor is very ill. He has the consumption.  

Left our care: September 29, 1925. Relatives.
