BROOKLYN, N.Y., AUGUST 24TH, 1943

Mr. S. McCallum.

Beloved Brother, — Thank you for writing me. I had heard of the necessity of obtaining another room and appreciated somewhat the burden this involved — knowing how scarce ^[p. 325] such accommodation is — especially in the great manufacturing city. I am afraid the brethren are at a disadvantage, but the Lord would say, “I know” and He will help you all.

There has been much pressure here as you know. A.R. is improving steadily, thank God; but his trouble is slow to move, as you would understand. He attended the meetings twice on Lord’s Day, also the prayer meeting. Dr. Stollery is recovering somewhat. We are not sure as to his real ailment, but his nerves are affected. He is a valued brother and we look to God much for him. Jim’s wife is in the country and making some progress — thank God.

We had H.H. here lately for a short visit — he is coming for a longer visit soon. We hear of good seasons in the east lately — at Somerville with J.W.D. and at Manchester last week — J.T. Jr. A.E.M., we hear, is in Ontario. We are thinking of him and you all in view of Detroit.

I note that you purpose being east in September or early October. The brethren will be glad to see you. Your work must be severe, but you will be on your guard as to your body, I am sure. And prayers go up.

We hope to leave for Vancouver on Thursday, calling at Winnipeg, Calgary, and on the return journey, Seattle and Maywood.

My wife unites in love in Christ to you both, the children and to the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
