1842 (June 22): Entire letter from John Donald in Glasgow to the Island of Tanna, Reverend Henry Nisbet correspondence, without postal markings - the contents state "being aware that a box is going out to you", with good will messages to both Mr. and Mrs. Nisbet and fellow missionaries the Turners. Both couples were landed on Tanna from the London Missionary Society ship "Camden" at the end of June 1842 and after a difficult period were evacuated by the whaler "Highlander" in January 1843 and taken to Samoa due to hostile threats from the natives of Vanuatu. An early Nisbet letter sent via the L.M.S. ship to Sydney and routed on by Reverend Ross of the L.M.S. - it is probable that it reached him prior to their leaving for Samoa. Displays well, very rare.
