Description: Letter from Winifred Holt Mather to Edward E. Allen written on May 22, 1924, page 2 of 2. Typed on American Committee for Men Blinded in Battle letterhead.
Full text: -2-
I wish that you could get an invitation for me to speak in Boston and a really good excuse for me to go there. I cannot help feeling that the powers of Truth do great things to scatter the powers of Darkness.
I have recently had tete-a-tetes in Washington with Mrs. Harding, Mme. Jusserand, General Pershing and the Surgeon General of the Army. All of these friends feel that the saving of Lighthouse Number Three is more than a philanthropy, that it should remain not only as a monument to the friendship of France and America but as a beacon for the seeing as well as the blind to promote international brotherhood and the international heart, which alone can stop war.
On reflection I am sending a copy of this letter to Mrs. Hoar as it may be in her great effort to preserve the Phare she has come across someone who might help to buy the plates for my book an to have it reprinted in memory of some dear one gone before. I should be glad to have all the profits from both books given to the blind as I have done since their publication.
My Husband joins me in all kind wishes and love to you and your family from your grateful pupil.

قال صلى الله عليه وسلم :
( من قرأ سورة الكهف كانت له نورا يوم القيامة ، من مقامه إلى مكة ، و من قرأ عشر آيات من آخرها ثم خرج الدجال لم يضره ، و من توضأ فقال : سبحانك اللهم و بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلاأنت ، أستغفرك و أتوب إليك ، كتب في رق ، ثم جعل في طابع ، فلم يكسر إلى يوم القيامة )

"Historic Wrightsborough Education"
"Schools shall be erected in each county, and be county supported." -The 54th section of the State Constitution"
"The Quakers thought the education of their children quite important and began the tradition of education at Wrightsborough. At first, they commissioned an itinerant man or woman as a tutor and held the school in private homes. Most of the texts used were of a religious nature.
After the Revolution, the Constitution of Georgia required that there be schools built in each county. One thousand acres of land was set aside to support each "Free" school. These schools provided only the most basic education- reading, writing, arithmetic (or "figuring") spelling, and penmanship.
Each county was also to have a academy, for which a grant of $5,000 was set aside. The Academy pupils had to pay tuition and board, as well as to provide their own firewood and candles. The subjects taught in the academies were such things as Greek, French, Latin, philosophy, and mathematics. The girls studied literature, French, arithmetic, music, drawing and deportment.
Wrightsboro had its own school as early as 1799. In that year the commissioners voted to sell 800 acres of the "common land" and apply the money toward a seminary for learning. In 1810, they sold more land to enlarge the school, and in 1826 a lottery was set up to raise $2,000 for the benefit of Wrightsboro Academy. In the late 1840's, the noted educator Columbus Richards became headmaster of the Boys Academy at Wrightsboro. He was an excellent teacher, as well as s strict disciplinarian, and he made the Academy into one of the best schools in Georgia. Two of his sisters, Miss Malvina and Miss Lizzie, ran the Girls Academy.
Famous Wrightsboro area educators included Moses Waddel, later President of the University of Georgia, and Billington Sanders, first President of Mercer University.

Dear Cousins
We ought to have answered your kind letter before this and intended to, but various circumstances have prevented. We are anxious to hear from our friends often. Mr. Foote's health has not been as good ad usual for several months past. But has been able to do his chores most of the time and attend church. He is very much engaged in the cause of our blessed Saviour. Prays earnestly for never dying souls both here and in other places particularly for our friends. In these things we are agreed. Hope the friends in Greenfield are well and striving to gain an inheritance in the skies. This is all important hope none will neglect the great salvation. I did not see Anson Greene when out there. I hope he is preparing for a better inheritance. Charity, I found a ebbyjah Greene's address, when I was in Mayfield, I got it from [end of page]
a presbyterian minister. It is Highland Falls, N. York. He is preaching there. I have not heard from my sister in some time. I wish you would both write and tell us all about the friends in Greenfield. We had a pleasant and safe journey home, found all right to about the house and found But the grasshoppers and drought have done us much harm for 2 years past. They destroyed all the grain that was put in the ground last summer, made destructive work of every green leaf on the peach trees and currant bushes - ruined the pie plant & other things. They are a great evil for a description of them see Joel 1st 2nd. They left the last of June after the's the farmers planted corn & sowed buckwheat and raised a crop so that it was some help. It was a great mercy to have anything. The corn did not all ripen. But it answered some purpose for feeding stock. Our children are all well that are near us and are striving. I think to walk in the straight and narrow path to heaven. We hope to meet all our dear friends in heaven "this world's a vain an empty throw" But there is joy substantial in heaven. Whatever we may lose hereI hope we may not lose that ever lasting inheritance prepared for them that love God. May we be found watching when the master calls for us with our [lampes] trimmed and burning. Much love to you all in God. Write soon.
Catharine Foote

ODC2. Don't forget.
*sigh* don't you just hate the dreaded to do list?
I know they're helpful and as I have the memory of a goldfish (no joke) I tend to need to write myself one for the weekends or when I go away other wise I end up with an unclean hamster cage or forgot to back flipflops :l
What do yours usually include?
Mine tend to be in the list above. But I have cute little note paper saying: 'A note from Keira' (my name).
But the 'do homework' part I tend to ignore *giggle*
But I prefer to write, I don't usually care what about half the time, but this is on my diary, I do believe its an account of my flight to Egypt? No clue, but no gossip will be found ;-)
Oh well thats me! I am forgetful, to the point I almost forgot to do the challenge (ironic huh?) *hehe* Well hope you like. THE SUMMER HOLS ARE HERE!! Have a good day everyone :-)

Having Fun with Blackletters II
Pre-conference workshop
Vince Mitchell of Mystic Blue Signs presents a full-day, hands-on Blackletter (Gothic) workshop concentrating the most on the majuscules (uppercase). In the 2011 edition, the workshop focused mainly on minuscules (lowercase). This year we will do a shorter session on the minuscules in the first half of the day and then proceed to the majuscule before the break. The latter half of the workshop will focus on the majuscules. There will be a brief discussion of Versals and their use in conjunction with the Gothic hand for beginning a document or as ornamentation. The gothic textura quadrata hand will be our guide. Materials will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their favorite broad-edged calligraphic pens.

From Colonial Office documents at the UK National Archives at Kew in London. The writing is that of Sir Thomas Maitland, Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands from 1815 to 1823
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lord_High_Commissioners_of_...
I am at present doing research into primary sources on the British Protectorate period from 1814 to 1864. I have the strongest sense that you need to have an understanding of the past to make sense of the present. In these old documents I am discovering much that helps explain current relationships between the British and the Hellenes and the present political environment of Corfu where we live, outside the summer months months.

My research continues. After looking initially at the period 1862-1864 I am going to give more attention to the earliest commissioners including Maitland who's writing appears in this image describing what he understands by the phrase 'protected subjects". It may be worth noting that 'subject' is a normal word in British Constitutional law. I am in 2009 a 'subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II'. There is no intent to imply that I am 'subjected' though I know that the term 'citizen' would probably be more acceptable that the traditional concept of a 'British subject'.

Led Zeppelin - the song remains the same.
Terningkast: 2
Regi: Peter Clifton og Joe Massot. Amerikansk fargefilm.
Hele fire år gammel er denne "hermetiserte" popkonserten fra Madison Square Garden. Som det fremgår av tittelen er det Led Zeppelin, gruppa som stadig setter besøksrekorder, som er i aksjon.
Blandet opp i reportasjen fra konserten får vi "coca-cola-fotograferte" bilder av gruppas medlemmer privat, og noen kvasi-filosofiske innslag som muligens skal formidle gruppas budskap eller innerste lengsler eller hva det måtte være...
Den faste fansen vil muligens være fornøyd, for andre vil nok filmen fortone seg som et slitsomt dokument over plastalderen.

Camp in the field
Dear Parents
Having an opportunity to send a letter by Lieutl. Kelley of Canton, I thought I would write you a few lines. I am well at present and am in good spirits. I wrote to you the other day, I do not know whether you will get it or not for Gen Sherman is very particular about what is written about a company
The fight that we had at Resaca was pretty severe, I never was under shelling as hot as it was then, although the shells burst so near us they did little else than scare a good many. Old Charley
Woods charged with us at the head or a brigade, as the field was very broad and Charley is very fat and he came up blowing like a quarter horse. We will leave here tomorrow after Johnson, we have had a good rest and will start out fresh again.
We heard from our wounded men this morning they were doing well.
We are commanded by J Logan and McPherson commands the 15th and 16th corps so you can trace us in the papers, everything is progressing fairly and a week or two more will find us in possession of Atlanta. Some are thinking that the war is almost over. But there is considerable to do yet but we are bound to do it.
Yes I am well that you should send the money for Ada [Ida?] to come to Massillon. I cannot write a long letter now, my respects to all.
Your Son
David Merwin
