line now, and say to you that / am
well and hope when these few lines
come to hand they may find you the
same. No l am not we'll, but DR.. G.
c. Hall, and DR.. H. w. Conrad have
gotten me in such shape until feel
like l could whip an elephant, but it
is all feeling.
l am here today the guest Of that
wonderful musical genius, Miss l. E.
Campbell, who is teacher in the
high school, and the organist of the
National Baptist Sunday School and
B. Y. P. u. Congress which will meet
in June in the city of New Orleans l
lam proud to say to you that Miss
Campbell composes much music, and
it is put in books used by the Con-
gress.. Did you know that we had
such genius in the race? If you did
not then l am proud to tell you about
her. You did not know her, because
she is modest, and unless you ac-
tually stumbled up on her or was told
by some one that that is Miss L. E
Campbell you would never know her
God is doing wonderful things for US
and will continue to do them If we
will only let Him.
Reaching Memphis, went to see
DR.. E. c. Morris, Helena, Ark, and
found that he was near the door of
death, to the extent that he could just
feel the hands of c. T. Walker, F. L.
Lights, A. Barbour, and others of
the National Baptist convention who
have gone ahead of him near. But
the Lord has returned him to US for
sometime to come, for l believe that
the Lord wants him to carry out some
work he has begun, the erection oi
the publishing house under DR.. A. NJ
Townsend, the business genius of the
race. This is going to happen, and
right now DR.. Townsend is on the
wing getting things in shape, and
raising some money from the Bap.

other schools, visited Henderson's

Then l made il over to Nashville,
and found that Dr. Hale had sent two
automobiles over to meet me and
