As , regards Mrs McCleary, I can never repay her for the deep sympathy she has shown me ever since I have been here, which is now 17 months that I have been left alone in a foreign-land without a friend to help me but God.

Wishing you, the secretary, and Trustees.a very happy Christmas .with God’s blessing rest* ing on your great work.”'
