so you may know I was surprised. I prayed, and when I finished, all said, "Ho, ho, ho," that is, all the men. I was again surprised at the universal consent or endorsement of the petition. I had some rich experiences, many hardships new to me, but I sowed seed which I doubt not will spring up. A half-breed Indian, Joe Hodgkiss, and his wife, were very kind to me. When I got in sight of the house here, men stood all along the road waiting to shake hands with me.

Maine ladies will find their four teachers for whose support they have become responsible.
