My dear Sir
	We wrote to you on the 7th of June and have not received any letters from you since that time.
	Having an opportunity now of writing, tho’ we are so fully engaged as to be able only to say a few words, we do not wish to let it pass; the assurance of our continued interest in the New Zealand Mission will be welcome to you who are labouring at such a distance from us.
	We have for some time been accustomed to meet together every Saturday Evening to pray for the success of Missionary efforts. We do not forget New Zealand on these occasions. Our brethren in Africa & in India meet on the same Evening; and we wish that you should copy this example if practicable, by coming together, if not every saturday, yet as often as may be on that evening. It will be a comfort to us to know that all concerned in our society thus meet together, whether at home or abroad.
(Signed) Josiah Pratt
