"Much of the information given in this booklet concerning the early days of the mission and the history of the island has been taken from printed articles and private papers of the late Rev. F. P. Gilman. Rev. W. J. Leverett of Nodoa furnished a number of early reports of the Nodoa Station, and also very kindly loaned copies of his private correspondence during the years of the Boxer and Triad uprisings." - Acknowledgements.
