[Letters from Africa] Bock (Kikangala) to the board. The request of the missionaries to establish a new station on Inkoma Hill has been rejected by the district officer in Udjidji: 'Entering or destroying the site of the death could easily cause considerable disturbance to the population, which would disturb the missionary activity in general. It is very important to warn against hurting the natives' feelings of piety in any way, e.g. by felling wood in the sacred grove, killing giant snakes, etc. Otherwise, I'd be forced to take legal action.' Therefore the missionaries decided to build the new station in Shunga. Description of the conditions in Shunga. Please ask the board to approve the construction of Shunga Station. Request is also made to the government.
