SCI through reading this letter j
VIII be at another point, but I win re.
quest you, should you desire to send me

Danville, Va, and the same will have
my prompt attention.
have been going some since I left
you in Chicago, but I want to inform
you right now that things are getting
straight on the farm, and I am going
to help to make some food stuff to feed
this nation, the soldiers, and then 1 viii
keep back just little for myself, for I
must eat little too.
If you win remember when I wrote
to you the last time I was in Florida,
but 1 am away from there now, but be-
lieve me, should be one more educated
man, because have been to a few
schools where they have been dishing
out the very best kind Of education and
1 am at one just now, but how long I
viii be here I am not prepared to tell
you, hence you will have to wait and
see for yourself.
I had the pleasure of spending two
days in Jacksonville, among the eduea-
tional institutions. Among them was
that high school, known the world over
as Stanton high school. They have
one more fine building now, and will
compare with the st. Louis high school.
am real proud Of it, and then they
have q fine man at the head of it.
The Florida Baptist college is doing
some fine work, but it will close the last
Of this month, hence they are right
down to work, and this Is the way that
it should be. They are getting ready
to turn out some graduates, and it is
hard to tell whether they viii open next
fall in Jacksonville, for already they
have secured farm with some hundreds |
Of acres in it, fine cattle, and perhaps
will turn attention to it next fall. Prof.
N. W. Collier is putting forth an effort
to raise money for the building, and he
Is some educated man, and q worker
from way back down yonder. ..
1 tell You it is pleasure to touch such
educated young men and to see what
they are doing for humanity and the
whole race. Such is life in the world,
md am proud that am in this world
md belong to your race, for if I were
lot in your race then I would be in
'ome other race. This is q great age in
which to live, but one hundred years
rom now will not know what went on
Iown here, for I viii be connected with
things and will not have any
Ise for earthly line Of things In the
ehool met Miss Sarah A. Blocker, who
as been there with the school and Is
onsidered q pillar. Her life has been
pent right there. ID
In the city called on Edward Wa {
ers college, and had long talk with {
n. John A. Gregg. I like to talk to
hat man, because he can tell you 90
iueh about South Africa, and then he
as in his mind many good things. I t
ant to see him over there with the clos q
NJ Of this war, for It viii mean much 6
DR. our people in Africa But am not 1
Ding to talk about that now, simply
lggest to the people that they send him q
lere, or at least to the African Metho-
Ist Episcopal church in this country. o
here is q way they can send him there. Z
Turning away from this part Of the n
orld, have q few more things I de- Il
re to say to you. Bishop Hurst was
; the school when I was there, and I h
I'd supper with them AL and bade him I
I'd his wife goodbye until we meet q
