SEPTEMBER 15TH, 1947

Mr. L. A. Corbin.

Beloved Brother, — I am thankful for an opportunity to thank you for your letter, and gift, £5, from the brethren in Barbados. It is valued as from you all — whose love over many years I have abundance of evidence. Please convey my love in the Lord to all.

Eight of us are on board this ship and we have just paid visits to Capetown and Durban where (both places) we found very much cheer. We had a weekend in the former and three days in the latter. Quite relatively a large number of brethren came together to hear the word in each place. At the readings we looked at 1 John 1 and 1 Corinthians. We were greatly cheered by the freshness of interest in the truth which marked ^[p. 396] the occasions. There is good evidence that the work of God is progressing in South Africa.

We are greatly interested in the report you gave as to the work in your parts, and we trust it will continue and increase. I had heard from Mr. Hayward of the interest in British Guiana and I am glad that some of the brothers in Barbados visited there also. We are now on our way to Australia and New Zealand and count on God for His help in these fruitful fields.

My wife unites in love in Christ to you and your house and all the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
