After travelling twelve leagues, we arrived at Foudai, where we met with an affectionate and hearty welcome from the whole family of the Legrands. However, they were enabled to hold improving intercourse with some individuals, mostly Greeks; "for whom," says Martha Yeardley, "we felt much interest, and some, I believe, became attached to us; we gave them a few books. They modestly asked if they might have the books for a while; and when we said they were given to them, there was a little jealousy who should have them; this we removed by saying that more should be guaranteed personal loans bad credit The man of the house where we lodged could not read, but informed us there was a school in the town of fifty boys. The schools, too, they found to be in a very poor state; the masters deficient in education and badly paid, and the schools conducted without system. Went in the evening to Thame, and had a meeting with a few who have met in the way of Friends for about five years at Grove End. At parting, the princess took a cordial leave of us, and said she received our visit as a blessing from the Lord. The meeting at Pastor Marzial's last evening was much larger than we had expected. He seems to be the first who was awakened in 1805, and was made the means of awakening others, who now hold meetings in an old monastery. After the coffee we had a sweet parting meeting with this truly interesting company.
