      Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Pulleine was in command of the British camp at Isandhlwana when the camp was attacked and wiped out by the army of 20 000 Zulu warriors. His leadership was criticized due to the fact that the defenses of the camp were non-existent and his army was put to far-forward and couldn't be supplied with ammunition.

    This letter is written by Edward Hutchinson in 30 November 1869, directed by the Committee of the Church Missionary Society to inform your Lordship about the measure they had in contemplation for the improvement of the condition of slaves captured by Her Majesty's cruisers on the East Coast of Africa. The attention of the Committee was first drawn to the East African Slave Trade in 1867 by the Right Rev. Bishop Ryan (then Bishop of Mauritius) who urged the Committee to take measures to protect East African slaves. The Committee praised the success of the Society's effort to liberate slaves in Sierra Leone during the Atlantic Slave Trade. They also praised the supply of native Ministers and Agents for the Society's Missions in various heathen tribes adjoining the colony. Nearly 120 different tribes of natives were turned into good assembling under the influence of Christian training and civilization. The Committee are encouraged to commence a Mission at the depot of liberated slaves in the Seychelles Islands for the benefit of liberated slaves. The Mission would be chiefly of an educational character. The Committee encouraged by this opinion have therefore instructed the Rev. T. H. Sparshott one of their Missionaries at present stationed at Mombasa on the East Coast of Africa to proceed to Mahe and they authorized him to secure suitable premises with land attached for agricultural purposes, for beginning a school and commencing spiritual ministrations among the liberated Africans.

    This document provides Dr. Livingstone's report on his exploration and experience in Africa. He was a Christian missionary and an explorer in Africa. The letter provides his observation and travels which were sent to Sir Roderick Murchison, who was a supporter of Dr. Livingstone with whom he shared his reports. One of the key factors that he mentions is the observation of Africa's environment. He also highlights his aim to locate the source of the Nile River which is located in the Northern East part of Africa. He also touches on the fact that he had unknowingly received financial assistance from the Royal Geographical Society which enabled him to further continue his work. The letter pays attention to Livingstone's journey through central Africa. He describes his experience in trying to explore and end the slave trade. He talks about the challenges he faced which included illnesses like pneumonia. It gives insight on the exploration of Africa.
