Abstract:
Has been to Demerara and Berbice to consult with the brethren there regarding any opening for work. Account of work there. Discusses reasons why he is now sure of the impossibility of carrying on with only the £200 per annum the Directors are willing to pay for the work. He will be welcomed in Demerara, and the passage money has already been given. The cost of the Mission is the only real reason for abandoning it. ( en )
