description Been thinking about him [his father] and the [Wesleyan Methodist] Missionary Committee. Thinks he would be able to assist the committee in their work but realises there may be no vacancy and the travel at his age would be difficult. From his perspective has an increasing objection to supervising others work. Thinks he should speak with the missionary secretaries on how he could best serve God. Suggests another may come forward to undertake the work here, possibly from the local community. Damage to letter means some text is lost. With typed transcript.
