Dear friend Andrews,
Once again it ha-ppens that I do Bot haire a Hc^rark stre<it address, and so -^ niisi, aejid this in care of the pastor. I sc-e j,ri & recent paper i'roin Gol-anlnis thai Rev.Wright has been reassigned to East ''a.xn street church,I suppose that means another vnahinz, -iBSlinSj su0 ;¦', ©3 a fxi 1 year.
The on closed is the ninth letter to our i'r lends in the hoJrie churches, I am sorry th&.t it has been necessary to. delavit bec&iise of the siidden rtish of work d'aring the pa.Bt two or three w eejcs, v-'e have had .to prep-..re and to undergo an annual inspection by trie Iiritis;i ^;;nveriiin,er:t in the school work. We aade a fine ahowing — in fact the highest mark awarded 'by the r^ovornmeRt to elenejitary schools ii!. Sierra J,eone, the mark of " excellent,"
Then w© .U'-v e had a lingering oaae oi' aickness at the dispensary desorihed iri the enoiosed lets-er. This tine it was a yoxing Syriar; white wosnan suffering f rora t he last ata;?es of syphilia. She died early S-unday aomirig. She w&e in a frichtful eondition. Her left leg below the knee waa BO rotten th^'-t ii Me.d8 the whole rooa sriell l->adly. Much of tlie fl&Bli had decayed leaving only bare hoii«s and tendon©. The wonan s hitsbaiid died a. few weeks ago of the sarae thing, and her 3. it tie boy of ah out ten years is a.ire0.dy sxiffering from sypliilitic sores. This dise;..se certair;ly is terrific,
