Sir Bartle will keep you informed of his
arrangements, if there are any means of communicating with
the interior, and I am sure you will assist him to the utmost
of your power in carrying out the good work in which he
is engaged.
"It was a great disappointment to us that Lieutenant Dawson's
Expedition, which we fitted out in the beginning of the year
with such completeness, did not join you at Unyanyembe, for
it could not have failed to be of service to you in many
ways. We are now trying to aid you with a second Expedition
under Lieutenant Cameron, whom we have sent out under Sir
Bartle's orders, to join you if possible in the vicinity of
Lake Tanganyika, and attend to your wishes in respect to his
further movements. We leave it entirely to your discretion
whether you like to keep Mr. Cameron with you or to send him
on to the Victoria Nyanza, or any other points that you are
unable to visit yourself. Of course the great point of
interest connected with your present exploration is the
determination of the lower course of the Lualaba.
