Charles M. Miller copies part of a news letter sent by Janette Miller from her missionary post in Angola, Africa. Janette Miller describes the climate, weather, and details the long trip from Lisbon to the village where she lives and works. The men, women, and children she helps to educate and teach Christian ways are also described. Janette Miller ends saying she trusts her African friends and reminds the reader that there are cousins of the tribe she lives with in the United States who are suffering because of what her race did to them.
