I have succeeded in bringing him down to the coast, which we hope to reach to-morrow, and when we get to Loango--a poor sort of place--I shall at once obtain the best advice obtainable--that is to be had.

Howsoever, I may have to send for it; but money being no object to either master or me, respectfully I beg to say that every care will be took.

Master having kind friends at Loango, I have no anxiety as to the future, but, honoured sir, it has been a near touch in the past--just touch and go, so to speak.

Not being in a position to form a estimate of what is the matter with master, I can only respectfully mention that I take it to be a general kerlapse of the system, brought on, no doubt, by too long a living in the unhealthy platters of Central Africa.

When I gets him to Loango I shall go straight to the house of Mr.and Miss Gordon, where we stayed before, and with no fear but what we will be received with every kindness and the greatest hospitality.
