Quantity: Typescript signed : 3 pages 
Scope and Content Note: Writer has sent information about the Iona Community, but there is no word from the London mapmakers; missionaries couldn't use sectarian arguments to force Booth's eviction, because international agreements granted full freedom to all mission aries in the area mentioned in the Congo Basin Treaties; the planters in Nyasaland never had much success growing coffee; although Booth's schemes weren't too well conceived, he was entirely for the Africans; will be discreet in using E. St. John's material and wants a copy of the prospectus of Chilembwe's African Development Society; although British officials had to listen to Booth's petition of 1899, the main result was to cause discussion of the legality of deporting him; charges of Booth's incapacity sound strange because he was very successful in business before he became a missionary; his British Christian Union of 1912 was a short-lived pacifistic group; wants to find more about Booth's attempt to set up a small industrial mission.
