Dear Sir:

Yout letter of recent date to hand and contents noted. I am sory sorry to know that you have been sick, yet you come when you can. I do not feel that you have forgotten your duty all at all. A man's first duty is to look out for the comfort of his family.

Your know what the Good Book says about the man who does not provide for his own household. Whenever you can make it convenient to come this way do so. We are pushing things ahead on this end. One New Fold in Richmond, 27 names enrolled. Watch the Planet for notes on our progress. The Reformers still have the center of the Stage

Yours in the Fold,
J. Thomas Hewin
