Transcribed as closely as possible by Franklin E. Mitchell, May 1999. Photo
copies of the bible initially sent to him in the early 1980s. He personally
inspected the Bible in 1984 in the possession of his great aunt, Cora Porter (dau
of Wm. Emerson Sloan) of Glenwood, Arkansas. As of 1998, Cora was in the
Glenwood Nursing Home, he doesn't know where the Bible is now. His comments are
in [brackets]. I do not have a current email address for him. If you
do have contact with him, please advise. Thanks!
