American presbyterian Congo Mission
Luebo, Belgian Congo, Nov. 7th, 1921
Dear Aunt Hon:
As you will soon find, this is not a letter, but a request. The mail just came in yesterday, and as it leaves this afternoon, we haven't time to write, but we are anxious to get this order in on account, especially, of the kodak supplies. We are ordering this from Montgomery Ward, as this will no doubt make it easier for you, and ask that you just send them the order we enclose with a money order for the total. We trust this will not inconvenience you, and shall send you a remittance in the near future to cover this order and the last one, too.
Everything is running along smoothly; we are both well. The end of this month we have our Annual Mission Meeting, at which time we gather at one of the stations for a Conference on our work and plans for the new year. It is to be held here at Luebo this year, and we shall have about eight representatives from the other stations, and with our eighteen already here, this will make a good sized bunch. Dot is getting along fine with her household; she has had a good cook and this man has helped her a great deal, but just now she is trying to see how things are done herself; she was making bread this morning (so we shall have some fine bread tomorrow.)
Had three nice long letters from Pinkney yesterday. It seems they are going to start on a new school--agricultural--in the very near future. And the road seems to be almost complete from there to Livingston.
Well, let us hear from you soon. With lots of love from us both, to you all.
B.M. and Dorothy
