l cannot honestly say Walsall is a

anything of Importance for the traveller.
During my stay at the hotel / became
acquainted with an American who was
putting into an English harness manu-
factory two Of Campbell's lock-stitch.
wax-thread sewing machines, and to my
great delight l found they were built
and owned by the Campbell Machine
Company of Pawtucket.
This pleased me more than anything
I have seen. He said European people
were beginning to find out what Ameri-
cans could do, and that there was a
brisk demand for this article. The
manufacturer himself said he had had
one, and liked it SO well he desired
another, and answered, ''Hurrah for
Pawtucket."
My next letter will be in regard to the
iron workers Of Darlaston, the nail
workers of Bromsgrove and, perhaps, a
little about Birmingham. Tell the chill
dren am going ON the continent, and
that if have no opportunity to write
special letters as / promised them, l
shall certainly do something for them
then. / can honestly say, thus far
