We make some extracts from his communication.
1.

Have the facilities for missionary effort greatly increased since the abolition of slavery?
The opportunities of the apprentices to attend the means of grace are greater than during absolute slavery.

They have now one day and a half every week to work for their support, leaving the Sabbath free to worship God.
2.

Do you anticipate that these facilities will increase still more after entire freedom?
Yes.
