" tilC Last, ana mad
to stop here and 60 to bed, and will
rest this week in San Antonio. Texas
have been near the crossing over
place, and will have to Be very care
ful to keep the people from having a
big funeral. They do not like to have
TOO many Of them in a year, and from
everywhere comes the word, "We are
praying for you" and the Lord must
have answered prayers, for am out
of the hospital.
But before saying more, let me here
say that | have been right at the door,
SO to speak, and have had all kinds
OF examinations, and | am told BY re-
liable people that DR.. Hewlett IS con
sidered one of the greatest specialists
in America on the disease of the
heart. He said had "Myocarditis. ("
and that is a big name for me to
have, but after all the various kinds
OF examinations, he came right down
to 1t and his treatment gave me the
very same kind Of medicine that DR..
George Cleveland Hall was giving
me, nothing more, nothing less.
just broke down here in this place.
or in San Francisco, and had to 60
to bed, that was all. We must all
take off our hats to Dr.. George Cleve-
land Hall, and | want him to know
this before cross over Jordan. He
is a great physician as well as sur
geon. | am proud of this. Lane hos
pital is said to be one of the best in
the world, and they have all strong
and eminent physicians and surgeons
on their staff.
| was in the hospital when | wrote
you that last letter. was there over
month, and now | am happy to get
out one more time. l came from
there to Los Angeles, and DR.. S. S.
Turner was delighted to see me, and
she got her pretty green automobile
car carriage and toted me over to Mr..
and Mrs. Elijah Cooper's home on
Washington street, and told me that
she would be delighted to render any
service possible while in the city. She
was interested in me and my case, and
did not fail to let me know. DR.. Tur-
ner is one more physician, and she
has made her way to the top in the
profession out in California. Hence
you see I was right under another
physician.
I spent the day in the house, for
/ could not afford to get around much
in my condition. In the evening an
automobile car carriage came for me,
and it was called taxi and toted me
over to the First African Methodist
Episcopal church, and did not collect
one cent for it, do not know just
who paid the bill, for it was none Of
my business.
I was very glad to get over there,
for I had the pleasure of witnessing
the Poro College graduating exer-
cises, and to see Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron
E. Malone. These people are doing
wonders, and they are spending their
days in trying to do something for
the whole race. They have spent the
summer in California, and believe me.
the people would like to have them
live out there all the time because Of
the good they are doing. But they
are going back to Missouri, of course,
and there continue to do something
for humanity. Just a few days ago
they gave an outing to all the Poro
representatives, patrons and friends,
giving out one thousand tickets. and
all were used. l mean tickets on the
train, and they did not have to tote
baskets, for Mrs. Malone provided
them with chicken, sandwiches, salad,
punch, ice cream and cake, soda pop,
fruit-in fact, she just fed them until
they wanted no more. The people out
west had never known anything like
that before in all their days, and they
are still singing the praises of Prof.
Aaron E. Malone and Mrs. Annie NJ.
Malone.
Then followed this exercise I was
telling you about, the graduating Of
a class Of IL wonderland I did not
need to say women, for they are the
only people taking the Poro college
course. Men are not in that bust
ness, but after a while some man is
going to take it up and open a parlor
and do we'll, as man is known to do.
| was glad to be there and to see
these things take place In the class
were Mesdames @. X. Randall, Lula
Collins, Mary Gale, Hattie Chamber
lain, Mamie Black, Cornelia Marine,
Sarah J. Aryed, ]. L. Freeman, Lizzy
Washington, Verda May Reed and
Ida Shelby, all Of Los Angeles, and
all well-trained women, courteous and
polite, and possess the qualities of
making friends and rendering service
to those who make their visit to the
place. Poro now has the West Coast,
and the women are praising God for
