Note of Explanation.

By James White

We were providentially detained at Knoxville until Wednesday morning; rode that day forty-five miles to the cars at Ottumwa; took the first train that left, Thursday at 2 P. M., decided that we could not reach the appointment by the round-about Railroad route with its changes, and then private conveyance to Cadiz. If our friends had stated in their letters that they would have met us on Friday at Warren, Freeport, or Monroe, we think we should have rode day and night, if possible to reach the Conference. But all was uncertainty with us, and we were very weary from our journeying and labor in Iowa, and felt perfectly free in continuing the direct route to Battle Creek.
If we can assist the brethren in obtaining a Tent, we shall be happy to do so. JAMES WHITE.
