...suddenly married a man,
and I came in her place."
:30:06
I wrote a letter to you
almost every day on the ship.
:30:09
On my first sight of the Africa coast...
:30:12
...something struck in my
soul, like a large bell.
:30:17
I just vibrated.
:30:34
It has been a long time since I
had time to write, but always...
:30:39
...no matter what I'm doing,
I'm writing you. Dear--
:30:43
Celie! Bring me a cool drink.

Olinka is 4 days march through
the bush from the harbor.
:31:00
Do you know what a jungle is?
:31:03
Trees and trees and more
trees on top of that.
:31:07

...for a breakfast of millet
and fruit, then morning classes.
:31:35
We teach the children English,
reading, writing...
:31:38
...history, geography,
arithmetic and Bible stories.
:31:48
The older children are used
to going to mission school.
:31:51
The smaller ones are not.
:31:53
Their mothers drag them
here screaming and kicking.
:31:57
They're all boys.
Olivia's the only girl.
