JANUARY 22ND, 1940

Mr. Francis Willy.

Beloved Brother. — It was a cheer to get your telegram, and note you are to be in Oakland until next Thursday. I particularly wished your address, as the brethren here desired to communicate with you.

I had hoped you would find time to run down to New York, but I can see that unless you could spend a few days here it would hardly be worth your while, especially as you had it on your mind to serve the brethren in the West.

We should have been glad to have you in our house, and I assure you, too, that the brethren would all appreciate a visit from you. I had expected that you would have sent me a line as to the time of your arrival in Toronto, but I only heard incidentally that you were to be at Detroit last weekend; hence I telephoned Mr. Langley. Our prayers follow you, and I trust you will be much cheered and helped among the brethren in the San Francisco and Los Angeles districts.

I trust you had good news from Mrs. Willy and Australia generally, and that you will have, under the mercy of God, a good voyage to Sydney.

You will be glad to know that the Lord has come in for us here and the difficulties of which you are aware are clearing up and adjustment all around is expected soon under the good hand of our God.

I know that you were to stay at Mr. Rosenberry’s, but I have not his address so I am sending this in care of Dr. Powell.

My wife unites in love in Christ to you, also to Mrs. Willy and all your family.

Affectionately yours in Christ,
James Taylor.

PS — The enclosed cheque, $50.00, is a token of sympathy with you in your service from my wife and me.
