Sep. 1893 was settled before we knew he was coming on leave [see 3038877087]. I still think that he ought not to be given any further extension of time. His leave expires in March next. If he is really keen on the subject, which I rather doubt from his having allowed 4 months to elapse since we wrote to him before taking any steps even to find a Cantonese teacher in England, he could get some country teaching and finish his work in the six months after his return. If he does not pass in that time, I do not think he ever would, however much extension we gave him.\n\nIf any extension is given him it should be for a definite period from the date of arrival in Hongkong, & not left to Loveman's discretion.\n\nPage 729\n\nLondon Missionary Society,\n\n14.
