DEAR FRIEND:—I have enclosed one dollar, and wish you to continue sending the Review. I have taken the Advent papers from the first, until I came here which was six years since, and then I knew no way to get them. Last Fall, my beloved Neice, Urasa Bucklin, returning from the west, called on me, and said I should have them six months. They have come and the time is run out. It is nothing new that I believe we live in the last days. I can truly say, "Thy kingdom come." I believe the time is near when Christ will take his weary children home. I should be glad to say much, but age and infirmities prevent. You will defer all criticisms when I tell you I shall be eighty-five years of age, next May. I was eleven years old the dark day. I feel it will be a joyful day when Christ takes his redeemed children home. I have a strong hope I shall be one.
May the Lord strengthen his saints while here to do his will, is the prayer of your unworthy friend and well-wisher.
