I am well and pray ever for your welfare. My dear brother, this is a very fine country. They have an excellent way of doing things, and there is such beauty in the country. There is no doubt about it. Very many people come to see us, and one cannot tell the Lord from the beggar. All are alike and they do everything with great intelligence and skill. They use dogs to drive their animals (that is cattle) and to extract butter from milk. They grind wheat and do everything by machinery, and thresh the straw — all by the machinery. And they plough with horses. As for the shopkeepers, they are very honest and make no difference in their prices. Whether it be a child or a grown man, they ask the same price of everyone. There is no theft or dishonesty. The shops remain open all day long and never a penny is stolen. And if a man commits theft they inflict a very severe punishment on him. They fix him alive and upright to a stake and fasten his hands with nails, and there he dies. So nobody commits theft. And the building (that is the house) are very, very fine indeed. Each house has at least seven storeys and the workmanship that they put into them is beyond description. You many look at it all day and still not satisfy the desire of your heart to see. And they are very rich and full of intelligence. Even the children speak well. And they deal with one another in very brotherly fashion. And there is no doubt of their cleanliness: they are very clean. And they eat with wonderful skill and daintiness. The boys and girls go to school from their earliest years to be educated, and there are many Indians here who are here for education.
