Excerpt from James Gilmour and His Boys Now, in these letters there are many pages far too sacred to be read by any except those to whom the letters were written. But it was felt that out of the other parts of this long series of letters a very helpful and a very beautiful book for boys and girls might be made. And so the greater part of this book was really written by Mr. Gilmour himself. The letters, most of them, are written on coarse Chinese paper with lead pencil. He wrote them some times at noisy Chinese inns at night, when the hard work of the day was done, by the light of a feeble Chinese candle;\sometimes while on his journeys; sometimes while resting by the way. They thus tell from day to day the wonderful story of his work during the closing years of his life. SO far as I know, no book of this kind and so written has ever been printed before.
