Ia The above letter reached us only day
or two since having come circuitously By
sailing vessel and not by steam via England as
the writer intended. URhappiy for the col
ored people of this country Mr.. Jones did not
live to complete bis explorations of Africa,
much less to report in full to the Association
whose agent he was; he persisted by drowning
while engaged in the duties of his mission.
He was an excellent man, endowed with clear
ard substantial mind, and sincerely devoted
to the welfare of his down-trodden and I'M
happy race. ED. IRIB.
