_10th July, 1872._--No great difficulty would be encountered in establishing a Christian Mission a hundred miles or so from the East Coast.

The permission of the Sultan of Zanzibar would be necessary, because all the tribes of any intelligence claim relationship, or have relations with him; the Banyamwezi even call themselves his subjects, and so do others.

His permission would be readily granted, if respectfully applied for through the English Consul.

The Suaheli, with their present apathy on religious matters, would be no obstacle.

Care to speak politely, and to show kindness to them, would not be lost labour in the general effect of the Mission on the country, but all discussion on the belief of the Moslems should be avoided; they know little about it.
