Waterbury Girl Writes Touching Letter of Cha
 Otic Conditions

Nine thousand feet up in tnS southern Abyssinian mountains three weeks away from the near sst grocery supply station and mile from the nearest kitchen garden, is a Wauwatosa matron oi 23, serenely going ahead with nei missionary duties, unmindful oi Premier Benito Mussolinrs war or what 1t may mean.
 She is Mrs. Enid Forsberg, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Irving Miller. formerly of Southmayd road. With her husband, Malcolm Forsberg, she has been stationeo in the Ethiopian wilds above the clouds for the last 20 months
 "Anxious?" her mother asked m answer to a question this morn ing. ''Well. not exactly that, but we are eager to get word rom her. The mail from that territory is poor and straggly and it takes a full month to even get it aboard a, ship.
 Mrs. Miller expressed a convic- tion that her daughter and son-in- law would not leave their posts, de- spite the warning from the state department to return home. she's not that type" Mrs. Miller as- serted. "A woman who can weather the perils of life, and the terror and resentment or those primitive and prejudiced people Tn inc Gofa region of Abyssinia. Is hardly likely to be terrified at any prospect possible war might bring up.
 Held In Fear
 My daughter has made prog ress with those mountain trloes- men. who, when she first arrived there. would run away in terror al a white woman. For many months the would not sell her or her hus- hand & thing in the Gofa market place. She sent to Addis Ababa, a three weeks trip by caravan, twice a wear for. her groceries. Her dis trict has no roads and the only means of transportation is on donkey back.
 s.In any event my daughter could not get out at this time, even If she did want to. The ma1l- man sits for weeks by the swollen rivers waiting for the waters to subside so he can get across. It's the rainy season over there and nothing moves in those mountains during the summer torrents. Noth- ing can move, not even Musso- lini's troops"
 Mrs. Forsberg met her husband when both were students at Whea- ton college, near Chicago. They became engaged before graduation and MT. Forsberg preceded his bride to Abyssinia in charge of the Faith mission in the southern mountain wilds where she joined him in December, 1883.
 Devoted To Work
 "My daughter and son-in-law are devoted to their work. Of course they have to take the hard ship that goes with such a life, bue they love the struggle to help these superstitious pagans. You see. while the religion of Abyssinia is nominally Coptic Catholic, the outlying tribes are all pagan. So primitive in the pagan belief are they that the worship tree branch es, sticks, stones-everything. in fact. But they are terrific fighters and stop at nothing once they be-
