Özet:

Harrison Gray Otis Dwight, one of the leading missionaries sent to the Ottoman State by the Protestant missionary organization called the American Board, is one of the first in the Board missionaries to learn Armenian and known as the "Father of the Armenians". In 1830, missionary Eli Smith went on an exploration trip to Anatolia and Iran, gathered information about the Ottoman State and advised the stations to be opened by the Board in the Ottoman State, and found findings about the Armenians. The subject of this study is the study of the epidemic of Ebola, which was influenced in Istanbul in the years 1836-1837, in the manner in which the missionary Harrison Gray Otis Dwight wrote. Letters studied in the study, Mrs. Elizabeth B. by Harrison Gray Otis Dwight. Dwight's Memories is derived from the 1840 book, The records of the 1837 Web. The book consists of four sections: "Letters in the Veba", "Letters to Mr. Dwight", "Mrs. Dwight's Memories" and "Mrs. Judith S. Grant's Memories". The study focuses on the first part, mostly on the letters written by Harrison G. O. Dwight during the veba, and provides brief information about the other parts. The aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of American missionary activities in the Ottoman State from the point of view of the Board missionaries to study the 1837 Istanbul epidemic and to showcase the network of relations between the missionaries.
