Missao de Chissamba
​Catabola, Bié, Angola,
Portuguese West Africa.
July 9, I927.

Miss Effie Jamieson,
Wesley Building,
Toronto, Ont.

Dear Miss Jamieson,

It must necessarily be a matter of no small importance that has broken my four years of silence.

After the Annual Meeting had accepted my programme for the development of the Medical work at Dondi I had a talk with Mr. Steed and with his consent spoke to Miss Hosking.  After some five weeks of consideration she has accepted a further development of my programme and I am writing to you and Dr. Arnup to bring the matter before the Boards interested.

We hope to be married as soon as satisfactory arrangements can be made.

Yours sincerely

​It must necessarily be a matter of no small importance that has broken my four years of silence.

It sounds as though Fred and Miss Jamieson met each other in 1922 before he went to Angola for the second time, and couldn't stand each other.  Just mutual antipathy.

Meanwhile, the following week Sibyl wrote a bright, cheery letter to Miss Jamieson about her marriage plans - hoping, perhaps, that they all could pretend that Miss Jamieson didn't hate Fred.
But it's all very weird.  And it got weirder.

​We have three letters that Fred wrote to tell various mission people of his engagement, plus a letter that Sibyl wrote, for a total of four.  Here are the four letters:
