description Little to communicate at the moment but intends to keep in regular contact. Writing whilst ship is taking on Madeira wine. All is well but voyage has been slow but given them time to improve their Portuguese. Hopes to write again from the Cape of Good Hope and to pass on missionary news from there. Was concerned that the voyage would be tedious and tiring for him but has found it the contrary. His spirits have improved since leaving England. Recounts the words of the Governor of Sierra Leone, Cha[rle]s W[ilia]m Maxwell, on the importance of evangelism there. Sends regards to friends and colleagues.
