The Life Story of a Leper: Autobiography of John E. Davis, Missionary Among the Telugus (Classic Reprint)

On the suggestion of my brother George and fellowmissionaries, I have written this brief sketch of my life. I cannot see to write a word myself. I cannot speak out loud. A large part of my body is paralyzed, so this has been a slow and difficult task and has taken a long time. I wish the reward of a rich blessing upon the lady who so kindly gave me her spare moments to write down my thoughts. I could not sit and write and re-write as I might if I were well. Nor could I wait until I was in the mood for writing. I had to work whenever I could get some one to write for me, and so the pictures are not so graphic nor the sentences so smooth nor the thought so cohesive as I would like. J. E. DAVIS.
