Mr.Moore has kindly furnished us with his recollections of Livingstone at this time:-- "I met with Livingstone first in September, 1838, at 57 Aldersgate street, London.

On the same day we had received a letter from the Secretary informing us severally that our applications had been received, and that we must appear in London to be examined by the Mission Board there.

On the same day, he from Scotland, and I from the south of England, arrived in town.

On that night we simply accosted each other, as those who meet at a lodging house might do.

After breakfast on the following day we fell into conversation, and finding that the same object had brought us to the metropolis, and that the same trial awaited us, naturally enough we were drawn to each other.
