BOMBAY Dec 8, 1915.
IS Your kind letter Of the 18th Of March
reached me some time ago, and afforded
me much pleasure. / should have an
swered it Immediately, but as brother
Hall was writing to Princeton about
That time, ] thoaght it might be as welt to
wait a little, ashe probably conlnunicat-
led to your society all the information
which we had to communicate then. Be-
fore you get this you will probably know
that am at Bombay with brother Hall,
and that brother Mott is on his way to
America, ! can now inform YOU that we
fare at length permanently established at
bombay by the authority or rather per-
mission Of the Court of Directors. This
Joyful information was communicated to
|as few days ago by Sir E. Nepean the
governor Of Bombay. We now hope FOR
Ian addition to our aHmber, especially
since brother Mott has left u.s.. There
Is every reason to hope and expect that
two or three mere of our brethren wsuid
|be permitted to settle here and join in
the glorious work of preaching Christ to
the Heathen. We need an addition to
our present establishment verY much.
we have three great objects before us.
the sMinistration of the word Of life to a
great multitude Of people wholly given
TO idolatry !; the instruction ofthe rising
generation by tbe establishment and
superintendent ots schools and tAe|
and printing of the scriptures
in the Mahratta language--W haye|
made beginning in these three Depast-
ments of our work, but we feel that twoI
men are insufficient to prosecute so ar
duous a task with facility and dispatch.
j he harvest is great indeed and labour-
ers few.
With respect to Persia, concerning
which you make some enquiries. the
King of course is a Mahometan, but he
seems to be very tolerantte Christians
| have written home sreatdeal concern
ing Western Asia, and you may probably
see my communications on the subject
before this reaches you-this must bel
my apology for not enlarging en- that
point here's eu will perceive BY the

hands. that we have not much leasGreI
Cor writing, We shall endeayut howe
yer in our basty way, to answer all the
letters we receive from our friends. Be-
lieve me, dear sir,I was truly gratiiied
with your letter, and ! beg yea will do
ne the favor to write again by the first
opportunity.
