Will County Jail, Joliet, Ill., April 7, 1900.
We, the inmates of this institution, surely appreciate the
consideration which you have taken in us. And as the County of Will
does not furnish a library we the inmates will be pleased to receive
any literature which you have to spare.
Inmates.
Georgetown, Del., Aug. 7, 1900.
We received those little books and tracts, and we prisoners were very
glad to receive them, although we are all sinners in this place. There
are nineteen of us at present—seven white men and twelve colored men.
We are treated very kindly by the keepers. Please send us more books.
From the Prisoners.
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 12, 1900.
We have to again thank you for sending us books, tracts, etc. We fully
appreciate the motives with which these books are sent, and are sure
that they will bear fruit in due season. The books, etc., are very
interesting and are looked forward to with great pleasure. We trust
that everybody who reads them will be benefited by their teachings. And
when we are permitted to go forth into the world again, we trust we may
be able to render assistance to some needy brother or sister who is
seeking to find Jesus. May God bless you in your good work. In behalf
of the prisoners in Hartford Jail. I beg to remain yours sincerely,
