STELLENBOSCH 
[1813. 
Mr. Bakker is a humble, affectionate, gentle, quiet 
man : he prays much, and says little : is little known 
and little spoken of, except in his immediate circle; but 
God has greatly owned his labours. 
20th. After having remained two months in Stellen- 
bosch, waiting till the sultry weather should be over, 
that I might commence my journey into the interior, 
I left it early in the morning, accompanied by my good 
friend Mr. Kuyper, for Cape-town, where we arrived 
at one o'clock, when I again 'took up my residence 
under the hospitable roof of Mr. Oncruydt. I had 
the happiness to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Milne, on 
their way to join Mr. Morrison at China, and likewise 
Mr. and Mrs. Harrington from Calcutta, who were 
on a visit for the health of Mrs. H. I was likewise 
greatly pleased to find the soldiers' meeting, under 
Mr. Thorn, prospering greatly. My time, until my de- 
parture, was taken up in attending to various concerns, 
which it is unnecessary here to detail.
