J B Gillies secretary of the Spanish Evangelisation Society writes from Edinburgh on October 14 1876 to urge readers not to fear a stop to Protestant worship in Spain. He notes signboards have been removed with little effect and in some cases attendance has risen. He explains government restraint is uneven and asks for funds to support continued missions and schools amid Ultramontane influence and delays in law.
