The subjoined letter from Captain
Jack Crawford, whose address in the
chapel two months ago will long be re-
membered as one of the happy events
in the history of the prison, will ex-
plain why some of the boys failed to
receive answers to their letters. AS
will be learned from its perusal, the
seed he planted has already borne good
fruit in the case of one of the boys
who is now in Canada. That Captain
Crawford may again be with us in the
future, to advise and instruct is the
prayer of all who heard him on that
bright Sunday morning.
