Missionary Notes From Bahama and Gibraltar 1809
Extracts describe missionary efforts in New Providence Bahamas including plans for a new chapel and baptized enslaved people on a West End plantation. Letters from William Turton and Sous Autrence praise prospects, request a preacher, and report a healthy summer with ample provisions. Gibraltar chapter notes a ground grant for a chapel and dwelling, a subscription raising 1680 dollars, and growing congregation aided by soldiers.
