Excerpt from Uganda and the Egyptian Soudan, Vol. 1 of 2
In March 1875 the well-known American traveller. Stanley, while staying in Uganda, wrote a letter which, after several narrow escapes, reached England, and was published in the English newspapers in November of that year. In this letter Stanley spoke of the promising field for missionary labour which Uganda, with its enlightened ruler and intelligent people, afforded, and made an earnest appeal to the English nation to evangelize this place; giving at the same time a list of articles required as outfit, and stating the probable expense of such an expedition. Within a few days large donations were offered to the Church Missionary Society if they would commence a Mission in Mtesa's country. The Society accepted the responsibility, and asked for volunteers to go out to the Victoria Lake to establish two stations, one in Karagwe, the other in Uganda. A well-equipped party, under the direction of Lieut. G.Shergold Smith, R.N.,proceeded to Africa in the Spring of 1876.
