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,
Catabola, Bié, Angola.

1.
This letter indicates Mr. McDowell was in a position of some authority at the Angola mission, but I don't know what that position was.
2.
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.
3.
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:
1927-07-09 LETTER FROM FRED TO REVEREND CURTIS McDOWELL
1927-07-09 LETTER FROM FRED TO JESSE ARNUP OF THE CANADIAN MISSION BOARD
1927-07-09 LETTER FROM FRED TO EFFIE A JAMIESON
1927-07-16 LETTER FROM SIBYL TO EFFIE A JAMIESON
