Now we have lived here eighteen years and no
prospect to better our condition. What shall
we do? If you could give us something to do
somewhere else I would be glad

I am Jesse N Smith's daughter and my parents
are here. But I would be willing to go any-
where to save my daughter.

Smith, and his two bothers, have worked
together ever since their parents died. But there
has not been the best of feeling all the time,
and we have many a time wished we lived otherwise
I do not ^believe^ the Lord wishes his children to
alway be unhappy.

Please consider ourcase. And if you think
that we have made enough sacrifices with-
out loosing our daughter for time and
perhaps all eternity; Please do something
to lift our burden of sorrow. If you can
do nothing else, please pray for us.
