Note 4 — LETTERS ON THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS STATE OF SOUTH AMERICA. (continued 4)

These names were not inserted in the Society’s Extracts, as the Secretaries thought the doing so might, perhaps, compromise our friends there with their superiors. A letter, however, was written to the Prior, in the name of the Society, conveying to him those sentiments which his conduct, on the above occasion, called forth. A few weeks ago an answer was received from the Prior, in reply to this letter, in which he expresses his continued interest in the object of the Bible Society, and his desire to circulate the Scriptures in his native country.—It may be mentioned here also, that a suitable letter was sent by the Society to the Governor of Guaranda, and that a very friendly reply to it has been lately received. This gentleman continues a warm friend to the Bible Society.
