BRISBANE, JANUARY 14TH, 1948

Mr. J. Patton.

Beloved Brother, — I thank you for your letter and enclosure. [The enclosure referred to is the ‘Notes of Conversation’ on page 396 and is also in Volume 174, page 146. — Editor]. Both are most interesting. They are in accord with the remarks I made in the conversation with you and your cousin and others re the matters in question.

^[p. 399] Evil involving the assembly existed and hence the whole case should have been placed before the assembly.

I should be glad to speak further as to the great matters recently under consideration, but as I am about to leave these parts shortly (about the 20th of this month, God willing) there will be no opportunity.

I am fairly well, thank God, as also my wife.

We unite in love in Christ to Mrs. Patton and you all.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
