From DR. ROBERT MURRAY, Editor of the " Presby- 

 terian Witness ' ' : 



HALIFAX, 



December, 1894. 

 DEAR DR. GRENFELL, 



. . . From our Presbyterian teacher from 

 Canadian Labrador we had most favourable reports 

 of your work. I examined him personally on his 

 return, as to what he had seen and heard. 



While he had not seen the hospitals and the doc- 

 tors, he had heard most appreciative reports from 

 fishermen . . . 



Yours very truly, 



ROBERT MURRAY.
