She writes:  “If the pain in my side is entirely removed while on my passage to Europe, I shall return to India in the same ship, and proceed immediately to Rangoon.  But if not I shall go over to America, and spend one winter in my dear native country.

“Ardently as I desire to see my beloved friends in America, I cannot prevail on myself to be any longer from Rangoon than is absolutely necessary for the preservation of my life.  I have had a severe struggle relative to my immediate return to Rangoon instead of going to England.  But I did not venture to go contrary to the convictions of reason, to the opinion of an eminent and skilful physician, and the repeated injunctions of Mr. Judson.

“My last letter from Rangoon was dated Oct. 26.  Moung Shwa-gnong had been accused before the viceroy, and had disappeared.  Mr. Judson had felt much anxiety and distress on his account, fearing he had done something in the way of retraction, which prevented his visiting him.  But in a fortnight he was agreeably surprised at seeing him enter.  He informed Mr. J. that having been accused, he had thought it the wisest way to keep out of sight; that he had put all his family on board a boat, and was going up the country among the sect of heretics with whom he once associated, and had now come to take leave, obtain tracts, gospels, &c.  Mr. Judson furnished him with what was necessary, and bid him God speed.  He will no doubt do much good among that class of people, for it is impossible for him to be any time with his friends without conversing on the subject of religion.  Moung Ing had returned, as steadfast and as much devoted to the cause as ever.  He and Moung Shwa-ba spend every evening in reading the Scriptures, and finding the places where the apostles preached, on a map which Mr. Judson has made for them.  Another Burman has been baptized, who gives decided evidence of being a true Christian.  Have we not, my dear sir, every reason to trust God in future, when we see what he has done in Rangoon.  Could you see at once the difficulties in the way of the conversion of the Burmans, the grace of God would appear ten times as conspicuous as it now does.  When we hardly ventured to hope that we should ever see one of them truly converted, how great is our joy to see a little church rise up in the midst of that wilderness, consisting of thirteen converted Burmans.”

On her passage to England, her old enemy, the liver-complaint, again attacked her; but bodily illness did not prevent her from endeavoring to benefit the souls of her fellow-passengers; and with regard to two of them, her efforts did not seem unsuccessful.

On arriving in England, she was cordially invited by the Hon. Joseph Butterworth, M.P., to make his house her home.  He afterward, at a public meeting, referred to her visit as “reminding him of the apostolic admonition, ’Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.’”
