Dear Dr. Maclagan,
In view of the sentiments expressed in the enclosed letter which I received this week, I beg to withdraw my previous offer to return to Shoka in the Spring.
Of course if the Committee think otherwise, I am at their service.
It is gratifying to know that the quiescent state of affairs & also the state of Dr. Landsborough’s health seem to indicate that there is no great urgency at present.
I will be obliged if you will note the contents of this (enclosed) letter, which I have reason to believe is in the nature of being “official”.
I.E. inspired by Mission Council – p. then kindly to return same to me.
Yours sincerely,
R.H. Mumford

Maclagan醫生您好
　鑒於我這週收到的信內訊息，我在此撤回我春季回彰化的請求。
　當然，若委員會另有所顧慮，我也願意配合辦理。
　很高興聽到事情平順，且蘭大衛醫生的健康也無大礙。
　希望你能多留意這封信的附件，因我覺得信件內容算是「正式」。
　I.E 受宣教士理事會啟發 – P. 請同樣回覆給我
