Beloved Sister In The Lord,-Though I know solitude in the Lord's presence is the first place which your soul will seek in your present deep affliction-and I would not come in to hinder that, or to distract your mind from Him-yet I write a line to say how entirely my heart is with Him, our blessed Lord, in His dealings with you at the present time, and that I look up to Him " that Christ may be magnified " in your body, whether it be by life or by death.
Your brother in the afflictions and hopes of the Anointed One,
Affectionately,
G. V. W.
