You will notice that about half of the amount drawn is still oa handtand that the amount, used is far from half the appropriation.If Mrs Smith "works in Lin - eh'ing trie neat Half year as the- church has invited her to do, it is likely that .the whole of. the appropriation, will be ussd,xlhen the appropriations )# e>.. m pranted.it. was expected -that; her whole year would be spent there. The. account looks vary simple in its summing-up. if you wish the various items for the different lines of work, I will send them, for they ,have 'been carefully kept even to items such as twenty-four cash for a hand-broom, idiat item- lias eausedvme some perplexity.The. broom mas bought to sweep the . aanp in the little girls1 school roc y children sit on tm i La. the datnpti v and \i nig t I LC Bible women, sleep,h there.
