To the Brethren in Minnesota.
By William Merry
DEAR BRETHREN : I wish to lay before you a few items, and hope that you will take into consideration how our affairs are with regard to our late beloved brother John Bostwick. We donated to give him a house for his family to live in, knowing he was worthy of it. There are some seventy dollars still due, which we ought to raise now, and take some of the burden off sister Bostwick. Truly her burden is great. Her youngest child died last first-day, April 8. From July last, Bro. Bostwick did not labor any, his health being very poor. Bro. Sanborn requested him not to preach, but to seek to regain his health. He went to the Western Water Cure institution, but got no relief. So you can see what condition sister B. is in. You that would deem it a pleasure to relieve her, can do so. Some have done nobly. May the Lord reward them, is my prayer.
