We provide The American Missionary, furnish our printed leaflets freely, and will send the monthly missionary letters to all who desire to hear thus from their contributions—­as we hope all do—­thus giving the very best information that the field affords; but we most earnestly hope the missionaries may be allowed their time for their missionary duties pressing upon them. The Missionary is the word from your missionary.  Read it, and if you do not like it, write us, and we will try again next month.
