User-Contributed Transcription stationery American Missionary Association, (Central Office, 59 Reade Street, New York)was formed in 1846 for Home and Foreign Missionary work. For the past eight years its labors have been principally bestowed upon the colored people of our Southern States. Some idea of the extent of these labors may be inferred from the following statistics:--Expenditures for 1869, Money $268,000; Supplies $40,000; Missionaries 500; Mission Stations 167; Churches under its care 25; formed last year 14. It will also offer to the Chinese in our land such advantages as a wise Christian benevolence may prompt and the contributions of our friends warrant.Mission Home, /stationery New York, Feb. 7 1871Dear Father and Mother The Cen. and mother's letter came quickly one after the other. Both were very welcome. The account of the meeting in Remsen interested us. We are very glad Anna is better, To day Mary is sending a nice little dress to Eddie's boy, and I put in a little pair of mittens If he walks out this cold weather, I think he will be glad to get them. I am growing stronger, but have felt quite miserable from a cold ever since I came. Am better to day then I have been at all before.In left margin-- I believe you had better send the butter to some commissioner merchant. It will be better to lose some that way than for me to sit sick again. Sis is improving nicely. Mary
