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

Rev. C. H. Mc. Dowell,
Galangue,
Angola.

Dear Mr. Mc. Dowell,

I am writing to announce my engagement to Miss Sibyl Hosking and to ask the Mission if you would consider our relocation, as we hope to be married perhaps this coming Fall.

I am willing to work wherever I will be of most service.  I realize that when Mrs. Pryor comes there will be a nurse at Dondi.  Considering this fact, and that the removal of Miss Hosking would leave Chissamba Hospital without either doctor or nurse I would be willing to be transfered to Chissamba until my furlough comes due.

Hoping this will receive your favourabl consideration,

Yours sincerely,

I would be willing to be transfered to Chissamba until my furlough comes due.
I think that the missionaries got a furlough after five years in the field.  I imagine that the furlough was a year, but I don't know.

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:
