    This is the letter that was written by Dr. Livingstone to Roderick Murchison. Dr. Livingstone's name is David, he was a Scottish missionary and an explorer. In this letter he tells him about the obstacles he encountered in his exploration and how he overcame them. He tells him about the letters that Sir Murchison sent to him in March 1866 and in February 1870 that were lost. He tells him about the goods that were sent by Dr. Seward from Zanzibar to depot, Ujiji but were stolen by the Governor, as a result he got a part of share from them. Other goods that were sent by Dr. Kirk through Ludha Damji were sold off at depot, Ujiji. Ludha Damji was a Banian-slaver trader while Dr. Kirk was a companion to Dr. Livingstone and a British administrator in Zanzibar. Other goods were sent through Ludha again and other two head-men but they ran riots on them, after that they stole goods from Mr. Stanley's store. Mr. Stanley was an explorer, journalist, soldier, and he had a search for missionary with Dr. Livingstone. The word expedition refers to a journey undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, especially that of exploration research. The same Banian-slave traders that plundered Livingstone's good are the same Banian-slave traders who were entrusted by other traders with their goods, it is just that they disliked Dr. Livingstone's expedition as a result he lost his letters, sketches, maps and his astronomical observations. This led to him waste a lot of money and lose 2 full years through the lost of supplies. The turning point was he received nine pack and packets from John Webb, he received some from Mr. Stanley and seized some from Kirk's slaves , this put him on an advantage of being able to finish his work. Despite the fact that he was attacked by pneumonia he managed to reach the height in Gondokoro.

  • The Xhosa chiefs were quite circumspect in their initial dealings with the missionaries. By this time the Xhosa were well aware of the results of European contact and understandably chary of the missionaries. Ostensibly the various mission societies needed the permission of local chiefs to establish stations in Xhosaland, but with the knowledge that the missionaries were nominally supported by the British colonial government the chiefs had little option but to comply.

      The Xhosa chiefs were wary of European contact, but were forced to agree due to the British colonial administration's funding. This also somehow emphasize the colonializers power over the colonized countries.
  • When Scottish missionaries moved into Xhosaland in the early 1820s, they found that they had chosen to establish their stations on one of the most troubled sections of the Cape colonial frontier. This disruption was the result of clashes between two expanding groups, the Western (Rharabe) Xhosa and the Europeans who were attempting to move into one another's territory. Xhosa-speaking people had been settled in this area for centuries. 4 Population pressure, secessional disputes left: 560.4px; top: 585.97px; font-size: 15.6px; font-family: sans-serif;

      The conflict between the Western (Rharabe) Xhosa and the Europeans in Xhosaland in the 1820s caused a disturbance of the Cape colonial boundary, leading to five border wars before the British conquered them in 1847.
  • Acceptance of missionaries and mission stations, however, did not mean that the chiefs were prepared to accept Christianity or to acknowledge missionary authority in any way.

      But accepting missionaries and mission sites did not imply that the chiefs were ready to adopt Christianity or to recognize in any manner the authority of missionaries.
  • The first mission to the Xhosa had been established by J T van der Kemp in 1799, the second by Joseph Williams and his wife Elizabeth, who set up a station on the Kat River in 1816.
