Church Missionary House, London, December 14/[18]18 Dear Sir Though we have no Letter from you to answer, we do not like to let the present opportunity pass without writing, though it be but to assure you of our continued interest in your welfare. The Committee hear, with much pleasure, that you continue to afford great assistance to Mr Kendall in the School. They were much pleased to receive the picture of the Settlement which you sent; & have had it redrawn, with a due regard to perspective; so that we think we have now a good idea of the place where you are labouring. May God grant that some New Zealand Children may be brought through your means to the knowledge of the Saviour of Sinners! We are, Dear Sir Truly yours. (Signed) Josiah Pratt Edwd Bickersteth
