scholars go away that some of them have no pious friends to talk to them about God. Some of the scholars have pious parents to tell about the Savior who died to save mankind. She says she is going to write something on a piece of paper for us to read while we are gone that we may think about the Savior. I wish that your father would pray for the scholars at Brainerd. And all the people who wish the Cherokees to be christians. The cherokees in our country are sometimes cruel to their families, but now I think some of them are more civilized and know something about their souls. They feel more anxious that their families should have an education. There is much feeling in our neighborhood among the Cherokees, we all hope that four have now become Christians. And a great many are serious about their wicked hearts especially the scholars at Brainerd have felt more on the subject of religion. but where is the spirit is he gone from us? Do you think about the spirit Mary Coe? does your Father think about the Cherokees? do pray for me my friend. I have much time to think about my God while I am sewing or studying my book. From your Cherokee Friend, Lucy Mc. P

Miss Mary Coe.
