The let let- was Written to a personal

light oh the writer’s character and per-
sonal acquaintances, as well as convey-
ing an idea regarding the customs at
that time. The letter was written con-
cerning two pipes (approximately 300
gallons) of wine which were to be used
at the visit of William Crawford who
later ran for vicerpresident of the Unit-
ed States.
• The manuscript is badly worn and
yellow with age, it being almost impos
sible to decipher parts of it, and it is
reproduced below:
Charleston, South Carolina.
Dear Sir:—
As neither this place or Baltimore
furnishes as good Madeira as Char-
leston, 1 have transgressed so far
on your disposition to oblige as tu
request the favour of you to send
me two pipes of the very best qual-
ity. If an opportunity should not
offer to Alexandria, by sending it to
^Baltimore it can very conveniently
be transported to this place. One
pifte is intended for Mr. Crawford,
whs reciprocates with me by send-
ing^to France for such wine as 1 may
vrant from- there. Should John Ew-
ing be in the lower country, and
should he have made any coliectioo
for me, as I expect he has, he will
advance the fund to make the pur-
chases; but if not, as soon as I am
apprised of the amount it will be
forwarded to you.

whi^i confined nte to my room for
several days, .but am now pretty
well recovered. Tomorrow I r.tart
with the President for Norfolk by
way of Annapolis. From the former
place I will proceed by Newborn
and Fayetteville for Abbeville where
I expect to be in about fifteen days.
My respects to Mr. and Mrs. Linsey.

friend Cherry.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals
sour and turn into gas and acids, you
havg’a real surprise awaiting you.
Tomorrow morning, :mmediately up-
on arising, drink a glass of hot wator
with a teaspoonful of limesf one phos-
phate in it. This is intended to first
neutralize and then wash out of your
stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet
of intestines all the indigestible waste,
poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary canal
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound lime-
stone phosphate from the drag store
and begin enjoying tnis morning inside-
bath. It is said that men and women
who try this become enthusiastic and
keep it up daily. It is a splendid health
measure for it is more important to
keep clean and pure on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the blood,
causing disease, while 'he, bowel pores
do. i
The principle of bathing inside is not
new, as millions of people practice it. Pz
Just as hot water and soap cleanse, pu-
rify and freshen the skin, so hot water
and a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate act on the stomach liver, kidneys
and bowels. Limestone phosphate is
an inexpensive white powder and al-
most tasteless. (Advertisement.)

showing deep respect. I could hardly
keep the tears back when I saw the
apples—memories simply surged thru
my mind, and those of childhood are
so vivid. I shall tomorrow look out
upon the last year of my work until
furlough is due with a brighter outlook
because of my knowledge of the people
and their needs and the love which
grows in the heart of the child of God.
We are having a very strange day
today—rain, which at this time of the
year, is very unusual. The men are
sitting out under a shed now singing
critically that I said to her, “Don’t you as gaily as the birds*, which seem de-
have Dorasanis in your village?" With ' lighted with the prospect , of washing
a.cute little toss of her head and a little I their.faces.

morrow when I shall post this. This
letter will go on out the same road we
go, but will get there a day before we
do.
We sleep in our tongas under the
skies. Both of us sleep like babies,
without a though of fear. Truly your
Psalm—the 91st—is promise fulfilled

The following letter from Miss Nell
Naylor, a fonder Denton girl, daughter
of S. T< Naylor, will be read with in-
terest by many of her old friends. Miss
Naylor is now located at Sironcha, In-
dia, and tells and tells of a trip she
made at’the. New Y’ear to conference.
Miss Naylor has been in India for four
years and will earn her vacation at the
end of this year.
Rapenpalii. India, «Dec. 31, 1916.
My Darling Daddy:
Miss Moore and I are on our uay to
conference in the.'very heart of the
jungle north of Slronchi forty-odd
miles. This Ik now a beautiful road
and we long, for a Ford car so that we
can save time and energy, for we start-
ed from Sironcha Friday afternoon at
3 o’clock and -here we are spending
Sunday tills close to home.
So far we have had a most delightful
trip. Miss Moore and I agree so well
one is always ready to eat and sleep,
walk and talk just when the other is
in* this mood. So we can just be our
natural selves and it feels so good, 'the
“* of the forest grows upon me.
---1 night we walked four mites and
ling I walked most alt of the
—------ day’s journey." It would
have thrown us so late last night, and
besides th$re was a gentleman in the
bungalow. We stopped in the jungle
four miles out and got here this morn-
ing just as he was rtady to get into
his.motor. It is a dear little bungalow,
with two rooms stuck down here in
the midst of a wild jungle. The gen-
tlemen usually get a tiger from here,
but we have seen nothing at all so far
but a beautiful peacock. However, we
have heard the chatter of the birds, the
whir of the insects and the song of the
wind in the trees and our hearts have
rejoiced and communed with God in
the solitude. There are very, very few
villages near this road and one can for-
get for a little spell the suffering of
the millions and the hungry ones which
usually haunt one every hour of the
day. The men who are with us this
trip are farmers and fairly well off,
with good warm blankets and plenty
to eat. Our cook and chiprassi are our
regular servants and therefore they are
well cared for. Brownie's letter speaks
of being eight miles from town and go-
ing there m fifty minutes. ’ We have
averaged just about two miles an hour.
When I walk I get a long way ahead
of the carts. We had to warm ourselves
last night as we walked in the beauti-
ful moonlight. It was dangerous too
I far from the carts, but really one does
not feel one bit afraid—everything
‘ seems so beautiful ahd there is “music
in the air.” However, with all the joy
of being in the jungle and away from
the thronging duties it is hard to pull
one’s self away. How those children
are winding themselves around my
heart, and thetr little brown faces are
becoming every day more beautiful to
me. While they are all as dear as can
be. the four youngest seem to have a
claim that is peculiarly different. I left
them, the three who are big enough,
crying to go with me. They have got
so when they see me they want me to
take them for a minute .anyway. I
brought the tonga full (town the road
quite a way, and Samuel Worth hung
onto me to the last. I hope we got
some good pictures of them thd day I
left. Elizabeth was bapti2bd on Christ-
mas day. She has gained regularly five
or six ounces per week and she is now
very pretty and smiles when you talk
to her. I was really proud of her. Miss
Moore gave her a dear little jack-net J
dress for christening, so she was doubly
dear on that day. I had a very inter-
esting case baptized the same day—
Dorothy. She is the daughter of one of
our widows who came a little more
than a year ago. I suspect you remem-
ber her. She brought two little girls
with her whom I christened Samadona ;
(Peace) and Preia (Dear) and another
baby was born shortly after she came
to us. This elder daughter, who had 1
the name of a heathen goddess (Bukki) 1
had been betrothed to a man in their .
village and so she was left behind with 1
the mother's brother to become the '
wife of this man as soon as she was
old enough. Some one must have been 1
praying for us in a special way. •! have j
tried several times to get this child but j
could not. ■ Two weeks ago a proud, '
tall, straight man came for medicine J
and then to the bungalow to sea me.' He !
asked me if he could see his sister, this J
widow, Dugie. Of course I called her '
and then talked with him a little while, *
then left them alone, but kept my ear *
keen for fear he would try to persuade *
her to leave. He asked her lots of ques-
tions—if she was happy and if the chil- J1
dren were well. In the npeantime I Mad
called the children to see him. Finally
he called me and said. “I can’t bring
my sister’s other child, for I would be
put out of caste, but four days from
now after I get home and no one knows
I saw her if you w ill send her she can
take her daughter.” Upi
vestigation he said “Al of my caste men
are urging me to have the wedding
ceremonies, she is mine now, or nearly
so, and will be a shame to us soon.”
I still felt just a little afraid jie would
not keep his word, bxgt with a prayer to
God I let the little mother go and in
three days here she came with God’s
gift—her litle daughter saved. She is a
dear, bright little girl, glad to change
her name from that of the cruel god-
dess to one meaning God's gift. This
happy little mother is a Joy to everyone.
She is so happy with her four little
girls. She came into my room the day
after her arrival and was eyeing me so i
t»ist I ivi to tier w j__v -• __*
have Dorasanis* irT^your viTlage?;” 'tfith I the Pro8PecX of washing
wdiistte, she said, “Nb. indeed! I’ve nev-
er before seen anything like you.” I
had to laugh, for it sounded like she
had “handed me a lemon.”
I must tell you of a visit I had at
Christmas time, a merchant whom John-
nie visited once, sent word that he was;
coming to visit us.- He came and
brought with him Luke and a senant
carrying a large brass tray full of ap-
ples. oranges, nuts, grapes, candy, figs,
meringoes, etc., etc. When I came in
he made a deep bow and presented me
with a camphor garland for my neck
