Manila.
I got acquainted with the American offi
cers on the battleship "Olympla" and I
stayed there with them for several months
and assisted in the kitchen. When the
"Olympia" came back to America I came
wilhlt, and Mopped in Honolulu, Hiawaii
Inlands, for five days and then came to San
Fran ci SCO, California, and stayed there
about three days.
A missionary from the transport "Indi
ana," asked me if I would like to go to
Washington State with bim, and I told
him I would like to go very much. So I
went and btayed with him and went to a
public schoo for one year. Tbe next year

ence I left the place of darkness and
came to America where all is brightness,
I am beginning lo realize that America is
the best country in the world. I was sur
prised and delighted to see so many new
things, or modern inventions, that I never
Haw in Manila or anyplace else, and I want
lo learn something while I am at Che
iriMwasoKlieii I go bar ktn Manila I can
influence my people to the American customs.
