Mrs. Hawley's brother, Mr. Nason, near West Point died about two weeks ago. It was raining this morning so I was the only one who went out to church. I met Mrs. Rainwright and Mrs Hall. Mrs. Hall has moved in town some where near 14 & D I believe. I suppose Mrs. R. will live with her.
You ought to see how Plymouth people have learned to give, — hilariously, as Mr. French says. They rasied $100 one day in Sunday School and $70 one evening in prayer meeting on the debt and they seemed to get that much fun out of it. everyone thinks it is a great thing that we have raised that debt.
They are wondering if you will still want to foot the bill for the paint for the church, as you suggested before you left. They can get it for $25 as a special bargain and I am going to pay for half and maybe all of it myself. I have not told them so, yet, but am going to. They raised more than money enough and if they get it to the man before the 15th he will throw off $150 and that will more than make the first payment to the Church Building Society. They are going to fix the church up right away, and have. The jubilee the 3d to 7th of November before the 10th anniversary.
