Dear Brother:

I have just read your letter. I was pleased to get even a few lines from you. In regard to the loan of $300, of which you write, we shall be very glad to receive it. I need means just now and shall be pleased to receive this amount. I thank you for the trouble and interest you have taken. 24LtMs, Lt 60, 1909, par. 1

I am thankful to the Lord for the interest in the message of truth which you say is being manifested at Memphis. The word that souls are giving their hearts to God always brings joy and rejoicing to my heart. I praise His name that over forty souls have signed the covenant in that place. O that many more may be persuaded to believe. I have watched with interest for just such a report as you are now giving of your work in Memphis. The Lord is on the giving hand. Let us praise His holy name. 24LtMs, Lt 60, 1909, par. 2

I will not write a long letter, as I wish this to go in the evening mail. 24LtMs, Lt 60, 1909, par. 3
