Mrs. Stedman.

I am sure that I have the sense of how poorly I have been able to minister spiritual things, and if the saints have been in any degree helped through me, it is of the Lord’s goodness. I pray the Lord to refresh you greatly in all those things that are in the Spirit; you may have heard that I have been laid aside for some weeks from all activity; it is a time when I am learning how far those things ^[p. 200] that one has sought to bring before others are good for oneself, I suppose that is wholesome. I am at present in a good deal of bodily weakness with a troublesome cough and other trying symptoms which are not ready to give way. The doctors are inclined to find the cause in a slight thickening at the top of the right lung. I do not know what the issue may be, but God is good and may raise me up again. In His mercy my wife and I go to St. Leonards on the coming Wednesday for a little time.
