Dear Colleagues:

Ok, I know I abuse/use this list a lot. And this won't be for the last
time! Whenever I finish my book, H-Levant will get a huge acknowledgement.
You all are incredibly responsive to my seemingly endless requests for
information.

In reading some of the voluminous (American) missionary documents I am
working with, one person wrote (in 1928) about her students "working in the
Armenian camp." This would have been in or near Beirut. Does anyone know
anything about such a camp?

Many thanks to any who respond (who may do so off the list, if you desire),

Ellen Fleischmann (again)
