It is of course known to all, that the Protestant Missions in Burmah are connected with the Am. Bap. Miss. Union, but need this hinder our sisters of other denominations from joining in this blessed and deeply interesting work?
God has opened a great and most encouraging field in Burmah, especially in Tounghoo. He has sent out his Gospel Rangers, His translators, printers, and school-book makers, and now every thing is ready for Bible-women and female teachers to enter in, and I do not believe there could be one noble-minded leader of the Union, of the American Board, or of any other of the great Societies, who would raise a single objection, as we would all act _together_ as an auxiliary to the Tounghoo Mission. Ladies could then direct their own funds, and send out _their own sex to their own sex_, holding direct communication with them, and yet, under the patronage of gentlemen.
