Minnie Evans

M.E. He was very interested in me and everybody come to Wilmington because he was the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and everybody coming to Wilmington he would bring them down to see Minnie. He brought all kinds of foreigns. People all from Englands, all from Holland and everywhere and all kind of Japanese people and Chinamens. He brought them all and introduced them to meet me. See that was Mr. Jack Ferrer.

N.H.S. What was his name?

M.E. Mr. Jack Ferrer. Of course he's dead. Oh, yes he died right after my husband died. And he was a very fine man but he wanted everybody to see me. So you see Airlie Garden has given me what I, the way what I got. Those people are very fine people, the Corbetts and I want much said about them because had it not been for them, Dr. Schwarz would not have seen me.

N.H.S. And if it hadn't been for Dr. Schwarz. U1

M.E. And if it hadn't been for Dr. Schwarz you would not have seen me. So you see that's where it comes around. And so they are very fine people and taken much interest you know and sending people to me. Seeing and looking at my work. So I have to give Airlie Gardens and the Corbetts some credit. I want them put in and their hiring me thanking them for what they have really done you know in helping me because they wouldn't have had a chance. No one would have had a chance to see me but as I pray God worked it all out. It was in His plan. You see I am a great believer in the plans. I know, someone says to me why don't you do this and do that? I say there is a time. Now you are the time to bring this to an end for me. That's true. That's right. God worked it all out. As I first said the man that I take up the contract with well he might have wrote out that contract but the time had not arrived. So lots of people tell me I got to name all of this. Now I can't name them. The onliest thing I can tell you to say it's Minnie Evans lost art and it's come to me this art that I have put out has come from nations that I suppose might have been destroyed before the Flood. No one know anything about it, but God has given it to me to bring back into the world and so that's why I wanted to get Mrs. Smith and this Mr. Dingle.

N.H.S. Who is Mrs. Smith?

M.E. Mrs. Smith who I was telling you about the lady.
