\C\) to be done at Jagroon [locus of her missionary labors] , and she 

 doesn't care to be home for more than a year. We went to 

 Allahabad and stayed three days at Dr Lucas's. Nellie & Miss 

 Mitchell also went & they stayed at Dr Arthur Ewing's. We 

 went to see the Exposition. It was like most of its sort and was 

 really very good. We had tea at a tea house & sat down with 

 some Missionaries from Persia and Egypt, and some travellers 

 from Easton, Pa, who had been here before to see us. Then we 

 went to Lucknow, and had for our fellow passengers the 

 coachman of the Viceroy and a young Mohammedan who 

 early in the morning spread his rug and knelt upon it and went 

 through his prayers at a great rate. The Conference was a great 

 success. ... It was held in the Isabella Thoburn College of 

 the Meth Mission. We were entertained at the Deaconess' 

 Home, and part of the house was an old tomb, and the Moham- 

 medan's grave was in the corner of the dining room, but under 

 the floor. Our hostess was a Miss Inness. Her mother was a 

 daughter of an old officer by the name of Tanner, who lived 

 in Mussoorie & had a Mohammedan wife. When the parents 

 died, the children were likely to lose their money — they were 

 rich — but they called in a lawyer from South Africa who was 

 in Mussoorie, & he won their case for them, then married this 

 lady's mother. Miss Inness is an honorary worker and is a good 

 Christian lady with rather thick lips and woolly hair as her 

 father had some African blood in him. A good many people 

 got ill there, from change of food & water perhaps. I amongst 

 others. Your father kept up until he got home, then went to 

 bed with a very bad cold & fever. We were afraid of pneu- 

 monia, but after a week in bed the fever left him, though he 

 still has a bad cough. Miss Holiday of Persia and Dr Tweimer 

 of Arabia came back with us & they & your father got the 

 papers that were read ready for print, and sent them off to 

 Revell in N York. I do hope that much interest was roused for 

 the work amongst M's. 



In the Methodist Mission at Lucknow, we met a young man 

 who is a great grandson of our good old friend who used to 

 live in River Forest. He has only been in India a short time, but 

 preaches in the English church in Lucknow. The Meth's have 

 several churches there — nice large ones. ... It has been so 

 cold this winter, but now that the weather is becoming
