My dear Sir
Much thanks to you & to
your family. I have received the knife
which you have kindly sent me.
It is the best, useful & most va-
luable knife I ever had. I shall
take great care of it one would
take much interest to see it.
I am still at Kisulutimi. I am going
on with the school with few child-
ren to which some are added from
the rescued slaves. May Heaven
conduct and help us in this & this
may be the means of bringing the route
to the eternal joy.
