In coiniiiflj spi tially htjfore you for aid at lliis time, we feel that it 1^ not necessary to enter into tlie question of the importance of this Mission. I iial is generally acknowledged, as shown by your libe- ral contributions heretofore for its support. The only complaint has been the need of more laborers in so large and destitute a field ; and many assurances have been received from contributors that an additional Missioni'.ry would be supported. With these encouragements we l.ist year succeeded in ju'ocurinff the services of Mr. Musgrove, a most excellent and well qualified »nan, to aid Mr. Masscy, or rather to divide the field with him. We append, from the published report of last. year, a statement of the work performed by tliom, so far a- statistics can show, eshilnting an earnest and faithful service, rt'ith promise of great and blessed results.
