The missionries are constantly in their thoughts especially at the prayer meetings on Saturday evenings; the business of the Society is becoming more extensive and weighty; do not look for speedy help, "but we shall willingly support native teachers at such salaries as may be required"; Mr. Cooper does not think of coming to Ceylon; it is not possible to send salaries to Ceylon in dollars; will send one suit of clothes; salaries should be sufficient to supply all necessaries [copy].
