Ke-ch'ung, not far from a place called Ma-jin-ching, at the countern extremity of Mir bay.
From there, on the 31st December, he went from Honghing to go to his native place, and returned to Honghing on the 30th.
He has 37 family members, bringing his wife with him.
Circumstances rendering it impossible for me to go myself to the cling (as I wished to do in order to try and obtain a confirmation or refutation of these statements), I despatched on the 10th current two Chinese Christians.
They are both Christians by profession, and I could place confidence in them for that purpose. They were instructed to take Christian Tracts with them and go to the Jin-ching, He-hing, and Fung-shin-thon, making inquiries about Le-show.
I was particularly careful to impress upon them that the object was simply to gather facts about him, if they could, and to set my mind at rest.
One of the men, being in a weak state of health, went no further than Koon-lung, finding himself unable to climb the hill on the other side of it, but the second went on, and returned here on the 15th.
The latter has given an account of the proceedings, which I beg to transmit to your Excellency, with a version of it in English, which I think you will find accurate.
