Your entry reads: Morija is a tiny town in north western Lesotho, about 40 miles south of Maseru. Tim Couzens' novel Murder at Morija tells of the 1920 poisoning of one of Lesotho's first missionaries.

As correction I offer: Morija is a village in western (possibly southwestern, but certainly not northwestern, see a map) Lesotho, about 40 miles south of Maseru. Tim Couzen's novel, once described by a well-educated Sotho as 'turgid', uses as a central theme the alleged poisoning of one of the missionaries of Paris Evangelical Misson Society, which had, at the time the novel is set, been established in Lesotho for about sevety-five years.
