It was to a lady named Charlotte Rumohr, of noble extraction, belonging to a family of high rank, in the duchy of Schleswig.

She was small and slightly deformed, but of good abilities; she had been highly educated, and being generally a prisoner on a couch, she had read deeply in many languages.

She had come out to India in search of a warm climate, and residing at Serampore, had fallen under the influence of the missionaries, and had some years previously been admitted to their congregation by immersion.

For the first time, Dr.Carey now enjoyed a really happy home, with a lady equal to conversing with him after the labours of the day.
But this mission, though subsisting for some years longer, hardly affords many more events.

It was not without troubles.
