Emily Howland letter to Sarah Jacobs
Title:
Emily Howland letter to Sarah Jacobs
Description:
Visted the Hospice of St. Bernard. Commented on the contrast between its pure and spitural inhabitants with the greasy, portly monks who regularly beg in the streets. Descriptions of local flowers and fruit. Swiss children and young adults are fine looking but the old people are some of the ugliest that she's ever seen, probably indicating a low intellectual state. English girls painfully pinch their waists and as they get older tend to get very fat, probably due to beer drinking. One rarely sees interesting faces as one might observe at home in a Wilburite Friends' meeting. Sidney (Sidney Taliaferro Boyer) would like dried corn and peaches.
