moving some time since I wrote the
last letter unless you want to call this
one the last, Yet you will find me far
from where am when I write to you
this week. This is some getting
around in the world, and ] am just
keeping pace with the world and there
is no getting around it.
When took my pen in hand to
write to you last week I was in Rich
mond, Va, just returning from the
meeting of the Virginia Baptist Con-
vention, and this week when I write
to you am in Ohio. After l got
through with the church business last
Sunday in Richmond, Virginia, Rev.
NJ G. Allen, just got hold Of me in
his automobile car carriage and toted
me to Franklin, Va, where he has
just accepted church and where he
is going to do some real good work.
We left Richmond at zoos and 2
o'clock I was ready for bed in Frank
lin and remained in bed Until $50, when
got up, had breakfast, visited the
school and we were soon headed for
Suffolk, Va, where I was the guest
Of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams, Of
Virginia ham fame. He has turned
out some real fine hams, and the peo-
pie who can get their teeth in one of
his hams certainly will fall in love
with them as we'll as with Virginia
He is a man who has accumulated
some wealth, and is living well. His
wife is a noted educator, and is doing
some real good work. She is now
serving as private secretary to her
husband and commend her for this.
She makes friends for him, and looks
after the social side of life.
AT the home Of Mr.. Williams had
one more fine lamb dinner, and about
Z o'clock found me on the train
headed for this other town, known as
Norfolk. Of course / enjoyed max
ing the town and spent the night at
the home Of the Rev. DIR. Young,
pastor Of St. John A. M. E. Church.
I called to see Mrs. L. w. Bright, the
widow and she was one more busy
woman making dresses. She is doing
well, and Of course, she has many
friends in the city where she has loved

pr. Robert J. Brown, the tooth
dentist doctor, was in his Office half
soleing teeth, but he found time to
give me and to tote me around some
in his automobile car carriage, and I
want to thank him for it right now.
He IS wonderful young man, and
this may be said Of all the people
from Normal He is a Normal gradu-
ate, and I am proud that I had the
pleasure of coming in touch with him.
He has invited me to return when he

and put them in eating order. He
says that it will be a pleasure for him
to make this kind of a contribution to
me. I did not get to see his family.
Thank you, DR.. Brown, for yonr kind
consideration. The world is not stand

After spending the night in Norfolk,

think that they are going too far. !
am just going to watch the result Of
