Sheet No. 12 of 'A Negro's History of Bishop Mackenzie's Mission to Central Africa' (MS), partly corrected by WHI Bleek. The Universities' Mission to Central Africa (UMCA), led by Bishop Charles Mackenzie, operated in a region that crossed what are now the borders of Mozambique and Malawi (formerly Nyasaland). After Mackenzie's death (in 1862) and the failure of the Magomero mission, the UMCA relocated to other areas, including Zanzibar, where it became very successful.
