A typed letter signed “Rockwell Clancy” to E.E. Pelz: “I have been transferred from the Allahabad District to the Muttra District. There are more than 12000 Christians in my new district and it will be impossible for me to attend to that work to retain the secretary ship of the Bishop Thoburn Special Fund for India. Mr. Rockey is a missionary of many years experience and is not new to the work of the special fund as he was secretary before I took over the work from him at the beginning of 1895 when he went to America on furlough. His name will be familiar to the patrons of 1894 in previous years. I feel sure that anyone who has ever had a letter from him about the work in India will be very glad to know that he is taken up this duty again. Among all are missionaries there are very few men who can write more interestingly of India than Mr. Rockey.… Let me ask you to continue to do all you can to interest others in India. The opportunities for work among the heathen are boundless. Many doors are open to us; thousands would become Christians if we could give them pastors and teachers. I came to India 18 years ago. At that time there were not more than 10000 Christians in our mission; today there are 128000. Let us continue to pray and work till India becomes a Christian land.” The letter has chipping along the right edge and is in good condition. TLS. 1pg. 8 ½” x 11”. April 24 1902.

Clancy turned over to me that you have given on several occasions but he has made no assignment. I know that it is pleasant for people who give for this fun to have some special man in view and therefore ascending the sum to the presiding elder of Kasgunj district I asked him to send me the names of men who would be supported by the special fund. One of them I am assigning to you. When you pray and when you give keep Chadmai Lall's maybe for you. He is a pastor – teacher in Kasgunj district. He is 28 years of age. A number of villages must be visited by him. In some of these villages a few Christians live apart from other people despised by their neighbors.
