The following letter was in the bible:
Spartanburg, S.C.
Since William Rhodes JONES, my son, has expressed a desire for my father's (Zaccheus
RHODES) mother's (WESTBROOK) Bible and is to have it rebound; I wish him to
have it. And hope he will study it and proclaim its teachings. It is a good
Bible, I read and compared it with others. I like the fact it has no
pictures.
