Book 1 – Letter 4 Received March 28, 1942 from Pidugu Mary

The next letter arrives from a girl in India via the Rev. J.H. Schneider in Columbus, Ohio. I think the church in Dola, Ohio where my Aunt belonged probably sponsored a family or a child in India. She writes about her family, learning bible lessons and about her village having 6 christian houses. Interesting that she signs “Your most obedient child”.

The origin of the letter from P. Mary is Chittoor District, Madras Presidency, British India

Book 1 – Letter 3 Received March 18, 1942 from “LR”

The 3rd letter is from a friend in Iowa. This is still early in the process and as you can see she gets more names to correspond with. In current terms this would be known as “networking”.  I also find it interesting that this is a girl who really wanted to be in school but due to family obligations she needed to stay at home and work.
