Rev. J. Howe,

Dear Brother:

I received yours of the 7th. Somehow I understood that D. F. Wilberforce collected money to build the "Fohl Chapel" and never paid it over, but rather claimed that it was to build said chapel for himself. Knowing the non-economy of Wilberforce, I did not suppose it had ever been paid over, and am still of that opinion. Steemen [Stemen] knows how it is. The Fohl Chapel fund on hands can not be this.

I see that Bishop Wood waxed eloquent, in this week's paper, over cannibals' eating missionaries, and optimistic about our maintaining a health resort (at $500.00 or $1000.00 a year) to care for our three or four American born missionaries. but right in Freetown is not very healthful, after all the hygiene of the ocean breeze.
