CHAP. VI. 
FIRST RESIDENCE AT LATTAKOO. 
About an hour after we had arrived at Lat- 
takoo, King Mateebe, and Kossee the king of 
Mashow, with Salakootoo the king's uncle, three 
of the king's brothers, Mateebe's two wives, and 
the wives of the others, paid us a visit at Mr. 
Hamilton's house. 
We found a commodious place of worship had 
been erected, capable of containing about four 
hundred persons ; and also a long row of Mis- 
sionary houses, furnished with excellent gardens 
behind. In front of the houses, a neat fence 
composed of reeds has been constructed, which 
improves the general appearance. We named 
the whole buildings attached to the Mission Bur- 
der's Row, after the Rev. George Burder, Secretary 
to the Missionary Society. At seven p.m. we 
attended their evening worship, when many of 
the natives were present.
