JULY 12TH, 1945

BELOVED BROTHER, — I thank you for your letter and for the gift from the dear brethren at — . I am touched by their affectionate thought of me, and I desire that you will give them my warm love in the Lord and my thanks for their free-hearted liberality in thus ministering to me. I have much comfort in their love, and I am thankful that I can assure them that I am abundantly supplied, through the great love of the saints universally, with all that is needful in a temporal way. And I have much mercy as to my bodily condition, for, though weak through loss of blood and confined to bed, I do not suffer pain, and my spirit is free for occupation with the blessed things in which divine love has been manifested....

I was able to get up for several days, but have had to return to bed. But if my trouble is checked I may get about a little, but this is in the Lord’s hands. He has kept me here very much longer than I expected, that I might have opportunity to learn more of Him, but I am not yet perfected in this blessed knowledge. For this it is good to be here, if far better to be there.

With much love in the Lord,

Yours affectionately in Him,

July 12th, 1945.
