Letter of Condolence.

DEAR BRO. AND SISTER WHITE, AND BRO. LOUGHBOROUGH: In behalf of the brethren and sisters of the church in Monterey, whose names are subscribed to a subscription list, we herewith present to you a draft for sixty dollars to help defray your extra expenses.

We continue to sympathize with you in your prolonged and sad affliction, and still continue to pray that God will graciously regard the petitions already offered for your recovery to health and strength, and renewed labor in his precious cause.

In much love. JOSEPH BATES. Monterey, Nov. 8, 1865.

NOTE. We would tender our grateful thanks to the brethren in Monterey for their expressions of sympathy for us, and for the above mentioned draft which was duly received, and which is to us good proof of the genuineness of their sympathy. God is hearing and answering the prayers of his people, and in his own good time will restore his servants to labor in his precious cause.

JAMES WHITE. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH. Dansville, Nov. 14, 1865.
