October 28^th 1891

 Dear Friends,

                         Can you ­­conveniently entertain me over Sunday next ??I have never forgotten that when no one else would receive your Missionary – you did. & many are the happy hours I spent at the little stone Farm. 

                        At your family Altar I have had many spiritual refreshings & I would like to sleep once more & for the last time – probably – beneath your roof. 

                        If it is impossible – I shall go to a Hotel & will thank you to tell me of the best & most homelike. 

                        On Monday night I hope to sleep at the “Drakes” if convenient to them? & I am writing Doctor & Mrs. Drake such effect.

                         On the Tuesday I must leave and may never meet again as I have a fresh book to do for God – in Mexico, in India, & in China.

                         He has given me the abilities & opportunities & I pray for grace to consecrate all to Him. 

                        I hope to find you all well. We had an awful voyage but  “through the tender mercies for you” Here I am safely.                       

                        With best wishes, believe me near family.

                                     Yours truly,

                                                                          J. Williams Ahwau

 Mr. & Mrs. Jasper Golden ( & Family)
