Letter from Bro. Phelps.
By Waterman Phelps
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I received a line from Bro. Waggoner last Sixth-day, and with it your letter to Bro. Cornell, giving an explanation of matters concerning the appointment of our Conference at Koskonong, last June. It was satisfactory, perfectly so. We were disappointed at the time of the conference very much, that the appointment was not out. Some of the friends at the time put some blame on me for it; but I believe it is generally understood now, and all are satisfied. I feel to regret that I did not write immediately and let you know about it; for if I had, it would have saved you some trials of mind, and you could have given an explanation which would have been satisfactory. Will you forgive me for my negligence? I know that I have not at all times realized as I should the care which is upon you, or the trials through which you pass. I feel to press my way on and "never stand still till the Master appear." Oakhill, Wis., Oct., 1853.
