Letter from Bro. H. C. Miller.
By James White
BRO. WHITE: It was with much sorrow that I heard of your affliction. I know you will feel that all these things work together for good to the lovers of Jesus. Oh, how good Jesus is. I can give you the cheering report that nearly all the brethren here, are pressing together in the love of the Saviour, and are trying hard to overcome their sins. We remember you in our prayers. Enclosed I send $20, $10 for you, and $10 for Bro. Bourdeau. May I hear from you, when you are able to write? Hoping I may hear that you are rapidly recovering, I remain yours in the hope.
HENRY C. MILLER. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 1, 1865. NOTE. Thank you, dear brother. I have handed the $10 to Bro. Bourdeau, for which he expresses grateful thanks to you. I will hand the other $10 to my faithful fellow-laborer, Eld. Loughborough, whose condition renders it necessary that he should remain here several months. His old friends east and west who have shared his faithful labors, will esteem it a pleasure to meet his expenses here, and also his home expenses during the same time. It may be necessary for Mrs. White and self to remain here several months. It is a great consolation to us to know that our numerous friends remember us in their prayers, and that it would be a pleasure to them to administer to us, if we were needy, in this time of our affliction. At present we are worn with constant care and toil, and are totally unfit for labor. We hope through the blessing of God to recover, and be active in the cause again.
JAMES WHITE. Dansville, N. Y., Oct. 3, 1865.
