• L&L 1946-7: Alaska: Mr. Everett Batchelder, Box 201, Cordova, Alaska (home address Attleboro, Mass.): 5-30-46: via R.E.R. 6-10-46: "Our brethren, the Richards and Fentys, are bound for a new field of missionary endeavor, up in the fertile Matanuska valley, which is northwest of here. They left on the evening of May 23rd, going part way by boat, and thence by highway. With them are the children the Lord has given in their care. They are the children of natives, some of them orphans. In their new location, may the Lord greatly bless with souls saved, and another testimony raised up to His Name here in Alaska."

1945

• LOI 1945-8: 4138 San Fernando St., San Antonio, TX:

"In September of this year Mrs. Short and I will have been here one year working with the Mexican people in connection with Mr. E.D. Dresch in San Antonio, Texas. During this time we have seen some blessings of the Lord and His wings have been over us. Of His grace and mercy He fails not. Being hindered because of the language barrier at first we turned to the young people and children, and it seems just the work to which He called us, but now we take part in the Spanish and we are seeing the unsaved coming in.

In order to reach young fellows, we provided some sports equipment and were able to get them into a club meeting in which we gave them the gospel or had a testimony from a Christian passing through the city. On another evening we held a Bible study class for those interested, with a result that three of the boys professed Christ as Savior. Several fellows in one of the Sunday school classes have received Him as Lord and Master and show marked evidence of true conversion.

Mrs. Short too has been used to reach the girls, one of which received Christ and remembers the Lord with us every Sunday. There are others who have not seen their place at His feast. Mr. & Mrs. Dresch have been an inspiration to us, and we hope we have been of help to them in the Lord's service."
