BROOKLYN, N.Y., DECEMBER, 1911

Mr. R. S. Sinclair.

My Dear Mr. Sinclair, — Thanks for yours of November 25th and enclosure. I am sure Miss Elwood will be sorry that you do not allow your address to be published. I doubt very much that the saints are overtaxed with written ministry. For myself, I read almost everything published amongst us, and I never feel that the writer of any book or paper has done me an injustice in giving me an opportunity of looking over the result of his exercises. Of course, if things put out are unscriptural it is another matter. I doubt that saints are hindered in reading their Bibles by reading current literature published amongst us; it is more likely that they are hindered in reading something that would minister more to the flock. Reading notes of an address is the next best thing to listening to it. If the publisher does not suffer, I doubt if anyone else does.

I enclose a letter from Miss Elwood which you both may be glad to see; also ‘Recollections’ as to Plymouth. Please return. I also enclose medical prescription you kindly sent Arthur some time ago. Pardon delay in returning it.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are with us and we get along well together. We had a good day at Plainfield, and his meetings here have been very helpful, and much appreciated by all. They hope to sail on December 13th. I am glad G. Harrison went to Council Bluffs. I hear they had a good time.

^[p. 109] Notice of your proposed meetings duly came. I hope to be with you, please God. I do not think anyone else will go from here. The brethren at Cambridge are arranging meetings for Christmas, and wish me to go. I am hardly able to decide in view of going to Indianapolis. I would very much like to go.

Affectionately yours in Christ,

James Taylor.
