BROOKLYN, N.Y., MAY 31ST, 1945

Mr. W. S. Spence.

Beloved Brother, — I am sorry I have been hindered in replying to your letter of November 21st.

I thank you for your invitation and my wife and I shall be glad to accept as we have opportunity. I need not say anything as to uncertainty as to the possible time of a visit to your side of the Atlantic. It is more so now than six months ago. My wife is not free to go by plane and return by steamer is, according to information, far distant. We wait on God, however, and we believe He will make our way clear. My son, who is going on business, may cross soon.

There is considerable cheer in connection with the Lord’s work in America. Special meetings are especially favoured. We had a very good time at Rochester lately. There are, however, restrictions, because of rail and hotel accommodations, only 50 visitors from a distance are allowed to attend. These restrictions, however, we believe will soon be lifted.

There has been some cheering work among the young, especially in the western parts of Canada; and in Cincinnati there is a remarkable interest — several being added. About 12 have been added in Winnipeg lately. Mr. ——— has been used in this work.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Spence and you, also to the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
