Rare. "Fletcher accompanied the Rev. G.P. Badger who was engaged in a mission of enquiry into the Christian religions of the East. Their journey began in 1842 and followed a route inland from Constantinople to what is now the northern reaches of Iraq. Fletcher's work, which includes many anecdotes of life in the towns he visited, provides an interesting and lighthearted accompaniment to Badger's more serious account of these same travels, The Nestorians and their Rituals (Blackmer).
