She tried to interest the Armenian Convent in her behalf.

Here I find an extract from Mr.Whiting's journal, which will give you all of interest on this point.

"After being out much of the morning, I returned and found the grandmother of little Sada, who had brought her little sister Rufka to leave her with us.

She had a quarrel with the convent, and fled for refuge to us.

We cannot but be thankful that both these little orphans are at length quietly placed under our care and instruction." The parents of three of the girls in our family, being Protestants, always gave their sanction to our mode of instructing and training them.
Bishop Carabet likewise aided us in every way in his power, and ever seemed most grateful for what I was doing for his daughters.
