Letter signed R.C., E. Saginaw, Michigan, to Mother. Was much pleased with trip to St. Louis. The Church of the Messiah royally entertained the delegates. It is a new church costing $107,000. There were thirty ministers present. St. Louis is a very substantial city, built chiefly of brick and stone. The drawbacks are the soot from the soft coal which gives a dingy appearance to all the houses and blackens one’s nose; the practice of macadamizing the streets with a soft limestone which quickly grinds to powder causing a disagreeable dust; and the water which is of an objectionable color and full of sediment. Individuals mentioned: E.D. Draper, Ballou, Uncle Robert, Julia Norris, Goldsmith, Weld, Chapin, Dr. and Mrs. Parrish, Mr. and Mrs. Ware, Lizzie, Gus, Emma Adams, Gannett, Vila Blake, Gordon, Kittredge, Elder, Forbush, Learriard, and Brooke Herford.
