Pidgeon at the Bay of Chaluers, New Carlisle [this is tantamount to cutting his connection with the Missionary station] - Grimshaw or someone else will take charge of London Missionary Society property. No reflection on him for want of economy or lack of success. Instructions regarding the new job.
