The following letter was in the bible:<\/p>\n

Spartanburg, S.C.<\/p>\n

Since William Rhodes JONES, my son, has expressed a desire for my father’s\u00a0(Zaccheus RHODES) mother’s (WESTBROOK) Bible and is to have it rebound; I wish\u00a0him to have it. And hope he will study it and proclaim its teachings. It is a\u00a0good Bible, I read and compared it with others. I like the fact it has no\u00a0pictures.<\/p>\n
