Description
Dated 20 October. Fjellstedt has started work and has written to CMS about his marriage; regrets Wolters' breakdown in health; proposes J. J. Muller and John Haberlin to work in India; Isenberg will leave at the end of the week; the Basel Liberia Mission is not prospering; 'the state of the colony and the behaviour of the American negroes is' 'a perpetual impediment in our work among the Bassa and Negroes'; in these circumstances asks if CMS would accept Mr and Mrs Sessing and Mr Kissling to work in Sierra Leone, in the Bullom and Susu country.
