H 11 pp 75-82 1839 April 3. John Dyer to Buxton about the letter he had received from Jamaica concerning enthusiasm for sending a mission to Africa consisting of one European missionary and two or three Christian negroes and his own belief that such a missionary might be found. He asks whether a place might be found safe for a European's health where they would not encroach upon the work of other missions, whether the accompanying negroes could be defended from the slave trade, whether communications could be maintained if a mission were set up in the interior, what the language difficulties might be and whether the negroes would be able to carry on should their European leader die. Transcript of this letter and of one from John Phillippo of Montego Bay, Jamaica, expressing the desire of the negroes there to send a Mission to Africa. (For a further transcript of Dyer's letter see Vol 18 pp 33-34)..
