The following extracts from letters written about this time, afford additional evidence of that caution and godly wisdom, by which Mr. Corrie’s missionary labours were directed:-- TO J. W. SHERER, ESQ. “Agra, March 4, 1814. “I have little to write to you about, except what is connected with the affairs of our Church here. The number of converts and present inquirers on all hands, renders attention to our concerns necessary that ‘the work should not fail.’ I do not write down the tenth part of the interesting particulars that come to our ears from Delhi, Meerut, and the Mahratta country: all which, though, if considered in respect of individuals, comprehends but a very insignificant part of the population, yet shews, I think, that “the report is gone forth,” and enquiry begins to be made. Labourers also, are, I trust, springing up, qualified for the work of instruction.... The Rampoor Molwee seems very disinterested; and is by far the most clever man we have yet had. The Moonshee, who accompanied him, is not very superior, but appears sincerely disposed to impart what he knows; and expresses a wish to go into the lately-acquired territory, towards the Seiks, where his family resides. At Delhi, the king’s sons, it is said, have got a copy of the gospels. Praised be God, nothing actually wrong has yet appeared in any of the converts, though it may be supposed that I am sometimes tired with their complaints and requests.” TO CAPTAIN PEEVOR. “Agra, March 20, 1814. “I have by no means been forgetful of your wishes respecting a reader, but have not yet been able to determine anything for you. The success attending the word is very gratifying and encouraging; but it requires time to acquire information sufficient to become a teacher of others; so that I hesitate even to wish the new converts to leave this [place]: and for another reason also, [viz.] lest through temptation or unwatchfulness, anything amiss should appear in them; when you know how the enemy would triumph. ‘There are your converts!’ would be the cry. ‘So would we have it!’ But be assured, it is as much my wish as it can be your’s, to send the light of the gospel to you as fast as possible.
