| Abstract | Mary Brewster McClure and Alexander Wilson McClure letter to Justin Perkins. Mary McClure writes to Perkins reflecting on the wide contrast between the settings in which she and Perkins live and notes they each share the gift of a new child to raise as a loving, serving Christian. She announces that "our ladies here" have adopted the young lad of promise Perkins recommended, asks that the youth write to them, and blesses the boy in his missionary work to his own people and shares news of her family. Alexander McClure writes informing Perkins that the people of Malden remember him well and wish to hear from him as often as possible and that they also wished to hear from John for whom they will pray and notes the ladies who had committed to his maintenance asked that his name be changed to Alexander but McCLure presumes that is not possibly assuming the child is baptized. McClure offers to be of service to Perkins in any way necessary and hopes that Mrs. Perkins (Charlotte Bass Perkins) is happy and a great contributor to Perkins' usefulness. |
