Rev A Brandram -- No.123
Veracruz, 22nd August 1842
My Dear Friend,
I have the pleasure of saying that I am safely arrived in this place. We cast anchor after a rather longish but pleasant passage of 25 days. Thus far hath the Lord brought me, in my present undertaking, in answer to your prayers: and O may he most graciously conduct me onwards and onwards in this mission, and prosper your work in my hands. I ever look for your prayers for the same.
I have seen a Bookseller here, and have arranged with him to sell Bibles and Testaments on commission.
I leave Veracruz this evening late on my way to Mexico and from that place shall seize the earliest opportunity of writing you.
I am, My Dear Friend,
Very Truly Yours,
James Thomson.
