Stevenson with the request that it be published: "The Associated Press sent out a report that Mr. Stevenson was one of the leaders in opposition to the Bill to Restrict Immigration. This is a mistake as he is one of its warmest supporters. On general debate he made a speech assailing the Attorney General for allowing Debs to come unattended from the Atlanta Peni-1 tentiary to Washington to confer about a pardon, contrary to all law and precedent. The reporter of the Associated Press evidently mistook this to mean that he was against the Immigration Bill: Mr. Stevenson's remarks in this instance were von iiiitsu 10 me ueos incident, and no at* tempt was made to state his position o n the Immigration Bill, as he has always been in favor of the bill, both in the last Congress and the present one."

The widow I had reference to is Mrs. I. W. Thompson, who had charge larst year of the Countv Homo. nnH *s many of the people of Chesterfield know I visited the County Home and only what I felt to be my duty. It was here that I first knew Mrs. Thompson and in October of last year I received three of her children into the Church and baptized two others and there was then in the home an infant only one month old and seeing that the mother and children were in need of some of the necessary things of life, I helped her from time to time as best I could and got the oldest girl into the Epworth Orphange, where he now is. Just before Christmas of last year T advised Mrs. Thompson that I had succeeded in getting a place in the orphanage for the girl and told her -1 ? ? ' 1 sue couiu seno nor at once, a few days later Mrs. Thompson, with her brother, come to me and wanted me to la1 e the gfrl over to Columbia. I ~ould not leave my work at the time, and I asked her brother to take her which he would not agree to do then. Then I asked Mr. A G. Grant to take her which he did and Mt. Olivet Church paid the expenses of the trip. This is the last I knew of Mrs. Thompson until I received a letter from her in February, asking me to uelp her which 1 could not do at that time and on the l'2th of April, 1921, I received the following letter, which I ask you to print without correction, as follows: Uheraw S c 4 | 11 | 1921 Mr C. r. Chewning Dear Sir, "I rite you a fue lines to let you hear from mc. Dear sir I would like very much for you to assist me and help me at any time I rite to let now about my condition I am living here By myself and I have Got all the children with me ?al But the little girl and I would Be Glad for any thing from you at this time and I would Be Glad for you to come to see me and see where I am living yours truly Mrs I. W. Thompson." Now this is a true copy of the letter and I leave it to the good people who so kindly gave me provisions for Mrs. Thompson to say whether or not I was right in asking help for her after getting this letter and without consulting her brothers and sisters, who were not interested enough to take the little girl to the orphanage after I had secured a place for her. On last Monday when I took gro ceriea to her she told me that she was in fjreat need and appreciated all that the people had sent her. After reading the article in last H. W.
