User-Contributed Transcription of the S.S. books the Eng. church in Remsen sent me can not be put to better service than by being placed in the hands of these poor boys - Some appeared very easily touched you know colored people are arrested for slight offenses often - After supper to night I made some paste (the old washer woman watching me said "I see you know how to stir the pudding) then I pasted nice yellow covers over the copies of the S.S. Bell sent in the same box-- which I am going to send there that they may at least have within their reach some thing besides their own silly songs to sing. If I were going to stay here how I should like to have a class there on Sundays. They have no S.S. there and very seldom any preaching - Poor things they ought to be in a reform school. Ask God to pity them and send them some instruction. Mr. Dawson, the keeper has an adopted daughter in the Oberlin College, just about to graduate. A little sister of hers we saw. She is colored they say, but it is hard to believe it when she is as fair and fresh and rosey lipped as cous Ella. with light soft hair and blue eyes.
