Mr. A. J. Gardiner.

Beloved Brother, — Pardon my writing you on business stationery, but I am greatly pressed for time and wish to answer your cable at once.

We thank you for all the information you send and also for your kind invitation to your house, which my wife and I value. As far as I see, we shall require to leave London immediately after the special meetings, and therefore, my stay with you will be very limited. At any rate, we have a kind invitation to Mrs. Elliott’s before, and in view of the pressure while on your side ^[p. 387] I think we had better go to Cranleigh for a few days before the meetings or after. But as I said above, we may have to sail immediately after.

The work of God in America is encouraging, although much cause for concern especially in our district. There is great interest in the special meetings, and many have intimated a wish to attend, but I fear they will find great difficulty in obtaining shipping accommodation, besides the British Government will be apt to limit visas in view of current food conditions. However, several months have yet to come before the meetings and conditions may change. We are counting on God for this. My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Gardiner and yourself.

Affectionately yours in Christ,
James Taylor.
