caused us to sing for joy. The Lord was pleased with our Brothers holy determination to see you & we understood that persecution had been great among you or would be. But we were commanded not to fear for he would be with us. praise the Lord. The time is at hand when distance shall be no barrier between us: but when on the wings of love Jehovah’s messages shall be communicated by his Saints. The Lord bless our Bron & may he prove a blessing to you. Be not afraid of our enemies they shall unless they repent be cast down by the Lord of Hosts. The workers of iniquity have been used by the Prince of Darkness to play the counterfeit but discernment has been given to us that they were immediately put [to] shame by being detected so that the flock never suffd as yet by them—— Grace Mercy & peace be unto you from God our father & from the Spirit. Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen—
