As the Society will take the most lively interest in your engagement, it will afford them the highest gratification to hear of your progress. You will, therefore, send a Report once a-year, at least, to the Secretary, containing a full detail of the state of your Mission, and all the important transactions of the past year.
THE objects which your Mission proposes to accomplish, being those of the purest benevolence, the present comfort, and the eternal salvation of immortal souls; you will feel it your burden duty to avoid meddling with the politics of the Country in which you live, on the one hand; while on the other, you will show all due deference and respect to the Civil Authorities of the land, and endeavour to promote peace on earth, and good will towards men, ever demeaning yourself as a pious Christian, a peaceful Member of Society, a nd a worthy Subject of the State.
ON other particulars respecting your Missionary duties, it is not needful that we should dwell, as they are contained in the general instructions which you received from the Society, when you first commenced your Missionary career, and to which we refer you.
DURING our residence in this country, we shall be happy to assist you with our advice, or in any other way in our power.
AFFECTIONATELY commending you, and your partner, and family, to a gracious God, and fervently praying that great success may attend your every effort to promote the Divine glory, and the good of immortal souls,
We remain, Dear Friend and Brother,
On the behalf of the Society,
Your Friends and Brethren, for Jesus' sake,
DANIEL TYERMAN, [indecipherable]
GEORGE BENNETT.
