on't he come to see me? I wish you
knew about our dear Saviour. I wish some one will come and tell
all the people about Jesus. God is our Father in Heaven who
loves us very much. He loves all the people in the world. He
wants them to love Him. I will tell you about him when I go
home. I wish you would read the Bible so you would know about
Him. Our corn is beginning to grow. Some children are going to
speak in the church to-morrow. Please give my love to all my
people. I am going to say good-bye.

From your loving sister, IRENE BANCROFT.

_Dear Father Monarcha:_

I am very glad that you are working; that is just what I want
you to do. You must build a house for your children, and you
will have a place to stay when the weather gets cold. And every
body must build houses for themselves; that is just what the
Government wants all of you to do, because that is right and
everybody thinks that it is right, and they were very much
pleased when you do so. I am very glad that all my folks are
well and happy if all of you are happy then I am happy too.
Your letter pleases me very much. And you must do just what Mr.
Bishop asks you to do. You must not do like other men do that
don't build houses; they just run off from the Reservation and
go hunting and sell all the things that the Government gives
them. You must not do that because that is wrong, not right.
Miss Moore will tell you what I say to you. Write another
letter if you have time, if you don't have time, why just go on
and finish all your spring work then you come after me when
school is out; if you don't want to come then you send somebody
after me.

Your loving son, JESSE GREENLEAF.
