A Memoir of the Rev. Henry Watson Fox, B.A. of Wadham College, Oxford Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 August 2011
Sallapilly: Feb. 17, 1847.
My Dear George,
I have no one to disturb me here, but the natives who come to my tent, and this in the way of business; the intervals between their going and coming, and my evenings, are all my own for reading and writing. I thus combine more active employment in real evangelisation, with improvement in Telugu, and leisure for my own use. I am more and more inclined to carry out Mr. Venn's proposed plans, so far as the seasons allow me; about six months I must be under cover of a roof, but the rest of my time I hope to spend in my snug tent. I wish some of the Cantabs knew what a happy life it is—to have it not as a πάρ∊ργον, but as actually one's business to be preaching Christ to those who have never heard of Him, is very joyful. When I have been to a village and told the people there of Him, and left tracts with them, I come away joyfully, recollecting that there is one more obstacle to Christ's coming removed: whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, He has been preached among them, and so the end is coming all more quickly. Besides this, the seed is sown, and some will spring up to bear fruit, and Christ shall see of the travail of His soul in that village.
