Dear Brother, My respected brethren in the ministry, as well as myself, feel that to no one could this, the first Kafl5r Grammar ever printed, be inscribed with more propriety than to the first Wesleyan Missionary inK aflfraria. We do not, however, view you merely as our Pioneer in the moral wilderness in which we labour; we have reason thankfully to acknowledge the measure of success with which theD ivine blessing has accompanied your various plans for the extension of the work of God, both in the Colony, and among the tribes beyond the Colonial Frontier. While we ascribe the praise and glory to Him, to whom alone praise and glory are due, we feel no small pleasure in honouring you as the instrument by whose agency so much good has been effected; and we rejoice in this, that, in addition to the affectionate regards with which our private friendship would prompt us to address you, we are also bound highly to respect and honour you for your works sake. I remain. For myself and brethren, Your affectionate and obliged, W. B. BOYCE. Graham s-T owny February 5th, 1834.
