The Women of the Arabs

CHAPTER VII
27/41

1852, gives some account of Lulu Araman.
Beirut, Syria, _February, 1852_.
My Dear young friends in Thetford: The quilt you sent came safely, and I thank you much for all the care and trouble you have taken to make and quilt it for me.

I at first thought of keeping it for myself, but then it occurred to me that perhaps it might please you better and interest you more if I gave it to Lulu, one of my girls, who is to be married some time this year to Mr.Michaiel Araman, one of the teachers in the Abeih Seminary.

You will thus have the pleasure of feeling that you have in one sense done something for the school, as she is an assistant pupil, or pupil teacher.

She has been with me now for about eight years, and seems almost like my own daughter.

Perhaps you will be interested in knowing something of her.
She was born in a pleasant valley, Wady Shehrur, near Beirut, celebrated for its fine oranges, and indeed for almost all kind of fine fruits.
