| description |
Question of Mr Thomson’s position. French Governor’s interference with missionaries’ activities nominally to secure good instruction in the French language but really to help Popery. Illegal for people to assist missionaries in any way or to contribute to the Society with the Governor’s orders. Difficult to know how to act. P.T.O. -- Natives changed from an attitude of coldness and indifference towards the missionaries to one of kindness and attention. Impossible for a missionary to manage on £150 there now. Points out the large districts in the hands of each. Suspects that it may be the Directors’ intention to give up that mission. Minutes of meeting. Jan.22. Regrets removal of Queen’s children from Mr Simpson’s care. Mr Darling’s visit and Mr. Johnston’s return to England. Sale of certain Tract Society’s works etc. Concerning an introduction for the Dictionary in preparation. List of bills. Students at the Institution. P.S. Asks that any communication concerning Mr. Thomson, the Queen or any authorities may be made through the local committee, on account of tendency there to deal with them only as individuals.
