\ ing Christmas and strutting Miss Liz
zie, and when you read this letter, !
will be on my way down in Florida,
but I am going via Cincinnati, Rich
mond. Roanoke, Norfolk, Lynchburg,
Winston-Salem, N. c., and will land
right in Florida, but it may be neces-
sary for me to make a trip to Wash
ington, D. c., to see what the Presi-
dent said to DR.. w. Fl. Jernagin-
Do you remember when and where
was when took the pen in my lily
black hand to say few words to you
the other time, and do you see where
am when / wrote to you this time ?
Well, / have been going some, but
not SO fast, because the bugs are after
me again and ! dropped in here to
have DR.. George Cleveland Hall look
me over, and see what the bugs were
talking about before / went down in
Florida, and he is going to be down
in Florida for his health and we will
look each other over often.
You will recall that | spent day
in New Orleans, La, and it was nice
stop over there, because Miss Enola
<. Porch, certainly did do something
to make me enjoy myself. | have
been to see friends and they have
been to see me. am proud to say
that Miss Porch's mother had a tur-
key as large as my stomach, and
turned me in on it, and honey one
more time ! enjoyed some turkey, for
that is among the few things / am
allowed to eat just ate and ate until
wanted no more of it at that time.
Miss Grace Porch, who is attending
New Orleans College, had a few
things to say, but let me tell you she

things to you.
had the pleasure Of coming in
touch with the Rev. B. G. Dawson,
the proud and hard working preacher,
the man who is just going to work his
way into the Episcopal bench of his
church. He is making friends as he
goes over the country and is indeed
an active polished minister Of the a.
M. E. church.
From New Orleans rode to Mont
gomery, stopped off for few hours,
and then made it on down the road
to other parts of the world 1t was
indeed source of pleasure to have
made this trip to Montgomery, and
from there to Nashville, Tenn.
am sure you want to know what !
saw in Nashville. | had the pleasure
OF meeting that great worker. Prof.
Ira I. Bryant, of Nashville, secretary
of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union.
He is one Of the hard workers in the
race, but the people say that at times
he has the running off at the pen, and
when he gets one Of the spells on him
he writes right and left and sometimes
Stays as he goes. He is well posted
on the things which are going on in
his church, and he speaks right out
Well, am not going to say much
about him, but | do know that Bishop
w w. Beckett. said that he was go
ing to step 'on the gas and put Bryant
in his place, but there was something
wrong with his spark plugs, and he
stopped his car parked and he has
not been able. to get it to run since
could name few others who tried

was met BY a representative Of
the Sunday School Publishing Board
OF the National Baptist convention,
and after looking around, he toted me
over to the home Of DR. j. G. Cald-
well, who has since jumped over the
broomstick and is now pastor in Ash

and they certainly have good man
tor pastor. He is doing good work,
and we will hear from him at Ashland.
| have not seen him since he has taken
unto himself a bride, but it has hap
pened and ! hope to see them when
! pass through.
Now. about this Sunday School
building. | talked with DIR. Caldwell,
went to call on his intended wife,

me that there would always be place
in her home for me. and both Of them

He toted me back to see DR.. J. III.
