have improved my mind somewhat arabsexy since that time, I still remain arabsexy of the same opinion; but I trust arabsexy my motives will excuse what might otherwise seem presumptuous. I have not written my experiences in order to attract attention to myself; on arabsexy the contrary, it would have been more pleasant to me to have been silent about my own history. Neither do I care to excite sympathy for my own sufferings. But I do earnestly desire to arouse the women of the North a realizing sense of the condition of

effort in behalf of arabsexy my persecuted people!
