Letters to Betsey

Excerpt from Letters to BetseyI have read the manuscript of Letters to Betsey with a great deal of pleasure, since both the author and her adventures in China are well known to me.So many of the books which purport to tell personal experiences are made in America, that it is a pleasure to come upon one which is simply an unvarnished state ment of the real experiences of a real missionary. That is the fact in regard to Letters to Betsey.Many workers in our missionary societies are un familiar with just the sort of intimate details about every-day life that Miss Cody has given, in these letters of hers actually written to friends at home, which have received very little editing and are therefore all the more valuable as a true transcript from the life of an American girl in China.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
