| description |
Acknowledges letter re the safe arrival of Mrs Livingstone and the family in England and thanks the Directors for the arrangements made; Moffat's [Robert Moffat] health affected by loud ringing sound inside his head; immense efforts of Moffat in his translation work (Hebrew to Sichuana [seTswana]); recommends removal from this work and suggests that Moffat's own inclination would be to visit his old friend Mosilekatse [Mzilikazi], from whom he has recently received an invitation; responds to Tidman's suggestion that his comments on the relative expenditure in the Colony and the countries beyond imply maladministration on the part of the Directors - counters that his remarks were founded on data published in the Colony; gives his reasons for hitherto remaining silent on the matter of the failure of the Mission in the Kolobeng district; refers to his past disagreement with Mr Edwards; reached Kuruman about 3 months ago and explains delay caused by the broken waggon wheel and news of the Boer attacks; recounts news of the attack on Sechele and the imputation from the Boers that "that horrid doctor must have taught them to fight"; explains what actions he has taken in writing to the Lieutenant-Governor and the British Resident, H. Green, at Blomfontein; declares that the Bakwains [baKwena] have given no offence to the Boers during the last 8 years other than Sechele's refusal to "become their vassal and prevent English traders and others from passing him towards the countries beyond"; Boers determined to secure all ivory brought from the Lake region for themselves and are dealing in arms and ammunition; more resolved than ever to open a way to the Interior; has received assurances of welcome from the Makololo by means of traders returning from that country.
