cause you all to appreciate me
either as your postman or as a
boy. | hope / succeeded in my
efforts, and Ireally believe | did.
But it was gratifying to me to
know that | had the opportunity
of coming here to the Transyl-
vania University to prepare tor
the ministry, although it was
hard for me to leave Tupelo and
my many friends there. | never
knew until | left Tupelo that |
had so many friends there, but
my absence has caused me to
realize the fact. | am not the
least bit dissatisfied up here, but
/ can not help thinking of home
folks
| have met lots of good people
here, in fact most of the 300 men
and boys and the $50 women and
girls at the university are minis
terial or missionary students.
Hence you can see that my daily
associates are exceptionally good.
| want to say a few words to
the little children of Tupelo. l
wish you were all here to play

up Sunday morning the snow
covered everything, and it snow
ed all day Sunday and some yes
