This\\noffer she declined, saying that her call was to the\\nForeign field, and that she must obey the Divine\\nvoice in letter and in spirit. Subsequently I\\nwrote her occasionally and, from time to time,\\nreceived letters from her.\\nDuring her senior year in The Woman s Medi-\\ncal CoUege of Pennsylvania, on August 12th,\\n1884, I visited Miss Armstrong and her sister,\\nWilla, at the home of Dr. A.
