- Abstract
- Avery received Emmons' letter prolonging his missionary term until May 15. He says that settlers have come to this region not for religion, but to make their fortunes. There are many uncouth and unsavory "hirelings" around, and some missionaries have strayed from the doctrine. Avery advocates fewer "transient preachers," and a more serious adherence to the doctrine. Several societies need missionary aid, more specifically resident missionaries.
