Mr. J. Edmondson.
My Dear Brother, — I send you a line without delay to acknowledge your letter, and its enclosures, and to express my appreciation of and thanks for such a practical expression of your good will and fellowship with me in the path of service. The Lord encourages us betimes in His way, and I hope that you yourself may not fail of your reward. I am very glad to hear of your being left now in comparative quiet in Rathmines — but what is to become of Westland Row? Are they to live ever in a state of unquiet, or are they to give in completely to Colonel G.? We do not go to Scarborough until well in the month of August — I have to go in several directions [p. 175] between this and then. You will find two or three nice brothers there — Ramsden, Drake and Gibson, and you will be there before the crowd comes in. I hope you may enjoy your stay. We had large meetings in Birmingham on Monday and Tuesday last, and there was interest and, I hope, profit. We had for subjects the Gospel, the Spirit, the House of God and the Holiest. I trust Mrs. Edmondson and your boy are well through mercy — as I am glad to say we are.
With love in the Lord,
Your affectionate brother,
F. E. Raven.
