Excerpt from Letters to the Young From the Old World: Notes of Travel
Two years ago the author of this charming little volume happened in my office. I requested her to be seated, as I wanted to talk to her. I then told her that she had traveled much in this world, having visited Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany and the Bible Lands; that she had seen and heard much that would be interesting for others to read about, and I wanted her to write a series of articles for the Young Disciple, giving in the simplest way possible the information gathered during her travels.
"No, indeed," she quickly and positively replied. "I cannot do that." I told her I felt confident that she could prepare a number of articles, or letters, that, would prove exceedingly interesting and profitable reading, and that the people were anxious to read what a woman had to say about the Bible Lands, the people and their customs. Repeating what she had said, -she added that during all her travels she had not made one note, that she would have to depend entirely upon memory, and felt sure that she could not do justice to the undertaking.
