The letter 10 written in quite a lesible hand
good for one who has received such limited
English education as must necessarily have been
the case with Tommy, most of his knowledge
having been acquired during his voyage to and
from this country, and during bis brief sojourn
here His autograph is written both In the Amer
lean and Japanese languages, and, in addition to
the signatures, to the left hand Is a sketch with
the pen Of the American and Japanese ensigns In
the grasp Of the American eagle; while beneath

presenting him with this, she expressed the hope

pressing the earnest wish that the PRAYER book she
had given him might be the means Of not only
leading him but others Of his fellow-countrymen
