| Description | Letter from Amelia Nyasa Laws, Bergstrasse 33, Dresden, Germany, to her relatives, thanking Aunt Amy for her letter; response to Chapman Alexander mission in Edinburgh has met expectations; no room for more hymnbooks; she has joined a music lending library so as not to have to buy more books; she is learning to harmonise hymn melodies at sight; Aunt's illness added to their luggage; singing lessons reduced to two a week - Fraulein Albrecht thinks it should be every day or none at all; improvement despite her doubts; comments on Mr. Adam of Montreux; he refuses to give a Bible class to the girls of Montreux and Vevey; the mission is dying under his control; Uncle's letter from Rome was wholly on Waldensian matters and said nothing of his At Home; Mr. Gibson impressed with his sermon; Luzzi preached at the opening of the church, very well but too highbrow for his audience; problems with music but the church interior much admired; sending him gloves for his birthday. |
