Nathan

Methodist

A
letter
written
November
7th
,
1863
appears
at the
beginning
of the
journal
:
“Dear
Friends
at
Home
:
Feeling
anxious
to
give
you
as
clear
an
understanding
as
we
possibly
could
of the
people
, their
dress
,
employments
,
mode
of
life
of this
heathen
country
,
we
hit
upon
the
following
plan
as the
best
to
convey
to
your
minds
their
appearance
,
manner
and
customs
.
Most
of these
sketches
are
really
life-like
.
We
have
seen
men
and
women
engaged
in
many
of the
employments
here
sketched.”
