Recovery and Thanks for Aid
By Hiram Edson
BRO. WHITE: I wish to acknowledge through the Review the receipt of money donated by the brethren to sustain me at the Dansville Health-reform institution. The amount received was $243,04, which I shall, I trust, sooner or later, make good to our common cause. The brethren have my heart-felt thanks for their liberality. It has not been a lack of gratitude for the beneficence and Christian sympathy on the part of my brethren that this acknowledgment has been so long delayed, but that I might report improvement in health. I have been long impairing my health, and nature would require time to restore. The past summer I was brought near the dark valley and shadow of death, beyond the reach of human skill or power. In answer to fervent effectual prayer the Lord has raised me up, and I am, so to speak, on the up-hill grade, my health amending, for which I give thanks to Him to whom all thanks are due. I am thankful for the light on health reform received while at Dansville, and from the publications, How to Live, &c. Yours in love,
Hiram Edson.
