James Gordon Bennett, ST.:
My DEAR SIR-It is in general somewhat
difficult to write to one we have never seen.
1t feels so much like addressing an abstract
idea; but the presence OF your representa-
tive, Mr.. Stanley, in this distant region,
takes away the strangeness | should other
wise have felt, ana in writing to thank Won
for the kindness that prompted you to send
him, feel quite at home.
If ! explain the fOrlorn condition in
which he found me, you i'll easily perceive
that have good reason to use very strong
expressions of gratitude. | came to Uiifi

beneath blazing sun, having been baffied,
worried defeated, and forced to return
when almost in sight of the end of the geo
graphical part of my mission, by a number
of half caste MOselem slaves sent to me
from Zanzibar instead of men.
The sore heat, made still sOTer by the
woful sights had seen Of mans inhuman-
ity to man, reached and told on the bodily
frame, and depressed it beyond measure.

Of the weary, sultry way was in pain, and /

! found that some five hundred pounds
sterling worth Of goods which 1 had ordered
from Zanzibar, had uuaccOuntably been
entrusted to a drunken MOselem tailor, who
alter squandering them for sixteen months
on the way to Ujiji finished up by selling
OFT all that remained for slaves, and the
ivory for himself. He had OWNED on the
KoTal, and found he had also written to the
Governor Of Unyanzembe, that he had sent
slaves after me to Maryema, who returned
and reported my decease and begged per
mission to offer a few goods that his drunken
appetite had spared He, however, knew
perfectly well from men who had
seen me that / was alive and awaiting
the goods and merchandise but as for
morality he is evidently an idiot, and there
being no law here, except that Of the dagger
or musket, had to sit down in moral weak
ness, destitute of everything save a few
barter clothes and beads which had taken
the precaution to leave here, in case of eX-
treme need. The near prospect Of beggary
among the Ujiiians made me miserable. !

much at o friend who, on reaching the
mouth of the Zamesbei, said he was
