BROOKLYN, N.Y., MARCH 3RD, 1939

Mr. P. Lyon.

Beloved Brother, — My wife and I, all our circle and the brethren, are much with you in your sorrow, and with all your family. I thank you for your cable telling that your beloved sister was “with Christ”. It came in time to make the fact known to the brethren — a goodly number — who attended the reading at Nostrand Avenue. As I told you in my cable reply, united prayer went up, and we shall be thinking of you in view of Tuesday.

^[p. 148] The information you and others had been sending indicated that but little ground for hope of Miss Lyon’s recovery remained, and our thought and prayer for her was that the Lord might sustain her to the end: giving her victory and also the truth. We shall look for news as to Miss Lyon’s closing moments in the body later, also of the interment.

Your own circumstances are greatly altered now, dear brother, and this fact shall be before us and our prayers shall go up. No doubt you will let the brethren in America know in due course if your purpose to visit this Continent is at all altered. You are counted on for Rochester.

My wife and all unite in love in Christ, and in deep sympathy with you in your affliction.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.

PS — I wrote dear Miss Lyon, but my letter would be too late.
