I hope to leave in January. Wonder if the
Portuguese have fulfilled the intention of their Government
in supporting my men.... I shall rejoice when I see you again
in the quiet of the Observatory. It is more satisfactory to
serve God in peace. May He give his grace and blessing to us
all! I am rather anxious to say something that will benefit
the young men at Oxford. They made me a D.C.L. There!! Wonder
if they would do so to the Editor of the _Grahamstown
Journal?_"
Livingstone was not yet done with "public spouting," even after his trip
to Oxford. Among the visits paid by him toward the end of 1857, none was
more interesting or led to more important results than that to
Cambridge. It was on 3d December he arrived there, becoming the guest of
the Rev. Wm. Monk, of St. John's. Next morning, in the senate-house, he
addressed a very large audience, consisting of graduates and
undergraduates and many visitors from the town and neighborhood. The
Vice-Chancellor presided and introduced the stranger.
