    In letters 80-81, Nettie writes that she and Samuel were married in England. They had gone there to try to ask the Missionary Society for aid for the Olinka people, whose village had been razed to make way for a headquarters for the rubber plantation. The people are now living in a temporary shelter that they had to build themselves.
