Hi John,

Thanks for the kind words. I am very happy to know that the Grahamstown
Presbyterian records are helpful to a broad range of people. That's the very
best outcome I could hope for. I have fixed my files with the J. J. H. Stone
entries, and I will look at the M. C. Fuller entry next time I go to the
FHC. It is quite possible that the 'M' is a 'W'. I appreciate any other
corrections that anyone has to these records. I have also changed Denison
James Bennet to Lennox. Had a good look at that one today, and the writing
was very faded, but could see that it actually said Lennox.

On an upcoming entry, I have a J. J. G. F. STONE for one of the witnessess.
I have had a good look at it, and I'm pretty sure that is what it says.
There are definitely four initials there. Let me know if you think it is
incorrect.

Regards,
Ellen Stanton
