Church Missionary House, London Decr 14/[18]18 Dear Sir Your Letter of the 10th of June, with its duplicate of July 25th was received by us about a year after they were severally written. Your distance from us, frequently renders communications between the Society & you uncertain. The Committee had much pleasure from your last Letter, as they find that you are once more united. They trust that Satan may never again hereafter so prevail as to sow the seeds of Discord among brethren. The Committee rejoice to hear of your favourable prospects; & are happy in sending an excellent Clergyman, & other labourers, to assist you. Mr Bickersteth attended the last Anniversary of the Carlisle Association. The members assembled were much gratified in hearing Mr Fawcett read a Letter which he had received from you. Our Missionaries & Settlers are, indeed, not only affectionately remembered locally, in the places where they lived; but, in every part of the land, prayers ascend up for them. Be strong then, in the Lord; & fight the good fight of faith. Remember us very kindly to Mrs Hall We are, very truly and Affectionately yours (Signed) Josiah Pratt Edwd Bickersteth P.S. We send you a Fowling-piece by this opportunity as we found that we could do it if we did not send powder, & that you could get powder from New South Wales.
