BROOKLYN, N.Y., JANUARY 19TH, 1942

Mr. A——— .

My Dear Brother, — I wish to thank you for your letter, also for the book by W. Romaine.

Extracts from another work by this writer were sent me from London many years ago — that is, a short time after the subject of the Lord’s sonship began to be considered at Barnet. I was thankful for them as confirming what had been said and reported in the Notes of the meetings held in Barnet. It is remarkable that, although a preacher in the Church of England, what Romaine taught as to divine Persons does not seem to have been questioned at the time. And the account of his life which I read then — written later than the one you sent — by another Church of England preacher — as I remember — did not say anything about his special views as to divine Persons.

^[p. 249] I shall keep the book for further enquiry and I shall return it to you later, God willing.

I am very glad you are remaining in Cincinnati and that the bank has granted you two more months to regain your health. I earnestly trust you shall prove God’s mercy in a special way so that you may be able to resume your duties and especially the service of God in Cincinnati. The brethren there are much on our hearts.

There is much cheer among the saints here in the East. I was at Somerville the weekend before last and at Philadelphia last weekend and the Lord granting help in both places.

My wife unites in love in the Lord to Mrs. A——— and you, also to the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
