Because of its encpuraging [sic] tone, we read your letter of June 10, 1935 to the Council of the Twelve at their latest meeting. All were manifestly delighted with this official report of your first visit throughout the Brazilian Mission.

We are particularly pleased to note the number of Germans and the bright prospects for missionary work among them. We shall send some reinforcements as quickly and as frequently as we can find them. . . .

One of the most pleasing features of your report is the fact that the Germans have refrained from intermingling with the negroes of that land. We have been somewhat concerned about the negro problem, as we shall have to face it there in South America. It is not an easy problem to handle, and we trust that you will be alert to save us from as much future embarrassment as may be possible.
