Letter to H C Janes, Green Gables, 6 Cargill Avenue, Half-Way-Tree, Jamaica; from Reverend V E W Haywood, General Foreign Secretary, Baptist Missionary Society, 93-95 Gloucester Place, London, W1.

14th February 1952

From: 1952 To: 1952

Dear Mr Janes, Many thanks for your recent letter from Jamaica. I have shared this with Dr Angus. Of course we are very interested to learn of your impressions and activities. It sounds as if they are keeping you very busy! When you get back I am sure that you will have a very valuble report to make to our West Indies Committe. The kind of slavery to which you refer is not unknown in this country, especially in my job. Oh! the joy with which I welcomed a long-awaited apportunity the other day to spend a Saturday in bed! Of course I was preaching on the Sunday. Well, you may be rejoicing in blue skies and hot sunshine, but we here have sombre skies and slushy streets, though the snow looks very pretty out at Pinner. You will no doubt be following in your newspapers the events which are so moving everyone here are home. The King's funeral takes place tomorrow. With every good wish, Ever yours sincerely, Victor E W Hayward.
