User-Contributed Transcription 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 $368,000; 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.New York, Feb. 18 1871My dear little NephewYour letter, so full of news, was very welcome indeed. I was glad to hear that the hens were laying. We have eggs once in a while too, but we have to pay for them. We get nine, and sometimes ten for 25 cts. I did not know before that you could write a writing hand. Aunt Mary and I were both pleased to find that you could, and to see all your words spelled correctly. So you have some stormy weather, do you, we do too.
