But we believe that much advantage might arise in many respects, both to parents and children, by encouraging native teachers and assistants; and we would suggest that special care be taken to bring about so desirable an object. Having completed the foregoing statement of facts, from extended notes taken during the course of our journey, which oc- cupied us from the latter part of the eighth month to the last of the year 1842, during which we were partakers of many mercies and preservations, we submit it to the consideration and disposal of our dear friends of the Commit- tees of New England and New York Yearly Meetings. (Signed,) John D Lang Samuel Taylor Jun. 4th Month 19th 1843.
