p236 [Mr Pinkerton] MY DEAR BROTHER, I was moving about in the blessed Lord's work, so that I did not get yours for two or three days after you would have expected. Your going on in this work was a matter of much exercise of soul to me if I can say much of any such not merely as to your going, but also because generally hitherto (save among the poor negroes in the West Indies, which is hardly that) God has not favoured an attempt by brethren outside the Babylon they have been a witness in. Two attempts were made, besides helping others, and both failed in result from, I believe, different cause one from death from the country fever in Syria when the language was learned. . . . Your affectionate brother in Christ.

Bath, August 11th, 1873.
