Chissamba,
Dec. 19, 1926.

Dear Dr. Stokey:-

Thanks so much for your prompt reply.  I certainly felt relieved when I found you would be going down on the same train.  I do not know the station at Cuma at all and I pictured myself relying on a Pg. conductor and consequently riding calmly past my destination.  However now I feel safe.  Yes I have heard that someone like yourself was known to be trying to find shelter beside a building in a downpour, however we’ll look forward to a bright moonlight night by 11P.M.

Just at present I’m reading David Grayson’s books and and find them very interesting indeed.  Take the books that you like to read, I remember that’s what you did when you came to Chissamba, you also played a good game.  But I expect Esther and I shall have our hands filled with talking, or perhaps I should say - oh well, never mind, I’m certainly looking forward with pleasure to our visit together, we used to be good pals.

I suppose you have everything that will be needed as you didn’t suggest that I bring anything, such as …….?  Dr. Stokey have you the wherewithal to make up some Tr. of Digitalis?  I have only the leaves.

Yours truly,

S. Hosking.

1.
Just at present I’m reading David Grayson’s books and and find them very interesting indeed.
Wikipedia says:
Ray Stannard Baker (April 17, 1870 – July 12, 1946) (also known by his pen name David Grayson) was an American journalist, historian, biographer, and writer.

And:

In 1898, Baker joined the staff of McClure's, a pioneer muckraking magazine, and quickly rose to prominence along with Lincoln Steffens and Ida Tarbell. He also dabbled in fiction, writing children's stories for the magazine Youth's Companion and a nine-volume series of stories about rural living in America, the first of which was titled Adventures in Contentment (1910) under his pseudonym David Grayson, which reached millions of readers worldwide.

​But I expect Esther and I shall have our hands filled with talking, or perhaps I should say - oh well, never mind, I’m certainly looking forward with pleasure to our visit together, we used to be good pals.
Esther must be Mrs. McAllester, so it looks as though there was a Christmas gathering in Sachikela in 1926.  On second thought, maybe a post-Christmas gathering?
