Excerpt from The Martyrs of Walhalla: Or, Early Missionary Annals of Northern Minnesota and Dakota Oxford, Pennsylvania, the wife of the financial agent of Lincoln University. This lady forwarded it to Mrs. Chandler of the Madura Mission, India, a friend of Mrs. Spencer. Mrs. Chandler sent a number of Mrs. Spencer's letters, written to her while working among the Indians, and also a copy of one from Mr. Spencer to her mother in Ohio conveying tidings of her death and narrating the circumstances attending it. These letters, worn and yellow with age, Mrs. Webb enclosed to me, and they now lie before me. A few extracts from them will give some idea of the mission as it was at that time.
