Note 2 — Chapter XXXII · FROM CHITA TO NERTCHINSK.

We had deposited with the Ispravniks of Verchne Udinsk and Troitzkosavsk Russian New Testaments, Tatar Gospels, and Buriat Scriptures for the prisons and for the Troitzkosavsk poor-house, which last, as far as I remember, was the only one of this kind we heard of during our tour, unless it were at Perm, and, perhaps, Barnaul. In addition to these the Governor at Chita accepted 25 wall-pictures of the Prodigal Son, 12 Tatar Gospels, 14 large Russian New Testaments, 50 small ones, 60 Russian Gospels, 20 Psalms, 3 New Testaments in Polish, French, and German, 38 Buriat portions, 75 copies of the Russian Workman, and 200 tracts.
