Accompanying this please find some notes from different prisoners. The Warden would be glad to have you here some Saturday P.M. in order that you should be in the yard, at liberty with all the men, that you might speak with them at your freedom or pleasure personally. I trust that the divine light is flooding your spirit and I pray it may do so forever. I hope that Christ is ever a satisfying portion to you and that your comforts in Him are numberless and rich. May God Almighty fill you with himself. Respectfully, J. W. F. BARNES, Chaplain Mass. State Prison. P. S. Also find herewith a paper drawn up by one prisoner and signed by thirty-three others. J. W. F. B. * * * * * Charlestown, Mass., June 4, 1887. Dear Sister Wheaton: Things here seem to be getting on to the praise of Jehovah. I had a good, long letter from Sister B. this morning. It is most blessed to feel that Jesus abides in the ship and commands the winds and sea as well. Praise his glorious name! What a blessing it is to be on the altar in God's service, ready to go or stay; ready to labor or to rest; to bear burdens or be free. I trust that the fullest rays of the Sun Divine may warm your heart and make your life fruitful. God be with you richly in all things. With best of wishes, J. W. F. BARNES, Chaplain. * * * * * Massachusetts State Prison. Charlestown, Feb. 13, 1896. Dear Mrs. Wheaton: Your postal to the Warden concerning ---- was put into my hands. This is the first moment I have had to devote to an answer. He is in the city working. He has made excellent friends. He stands well in the church he has joined; is connected with a very large Bible class of young men and frequently has to be its teacher. He is active in the church, but closely confined to his work. We are in fair condition, comparatively, in the prison. We have tonight, 761 prisoners. I send you one of our reports with this. A. is still keeping a Rescue Mission and doing well. I presume you are still after the welfare of the prisoners. I have been very ill since I saw you, but am able to be at my work again. Our little prayer meeting on Saturday P. M. still goes on doing good. The Lord is with us in the enlightening and building up of souls.
