Again I have the pleasure of enclosing for the general use of the American Missionary Association a draft of one hundred dollars. The Lord bless the work of the dear workers in the field. My love to them.

Many years ago I used to contribute to the funds of the American Missionary Association. My husband and I supported a teacher under its auspices, but times have changed and we are not able to do that now. For many years I have ceased to send any money to your treasury, for I thought what little I could afford would do no good at all. But seeing in the September MISSIONARY some contributions of a few dollars, I send the enclosed five dollars. If each one interested in the cause would do that, it would help some. My interest is unabated in your great and glorious work for humanity and immortal souls.

Enclosed we send twenty-five dollars, which please accept as our subscription to the American Missionary Association work for the current year. We are more and more interested in this work, especially in view of the hateful prejudice that exists in many parts of the South against the colored people and those who have so nobly espoused the cause of their education and Christianization. This low-minded prejudice is very similar to what we have to endure here in the interior of China, yet it is harder to bear because coming from those who pretend to be enlightened Christians, while here those who indulge in personal abuse are mostly of the lowest and most ignorant heathen, though they are often backed up by the literati.
