My Dear Miss——,-I write a few lines amid multiplying calls upon me... The work here is interesting, but needs faith and patient humility; yet I do indeed judge that the Lord's time to bless in New Zealand is come. He has wrought great deliverance for——; and at Auckland, and at Motuika, and Nelson, and' Wellington, and Christchurch, and Timara, and Geraldine, with its valley there, is breaking of bread such as one can join; also at Thames, near Auckland. Mr.——has been with me up here, and I too down with him. He is a very useful servant, and took much care of me. My return may be a little delayed, for places I did not think of visiting ask now for visits; but the Lord will direct Kindest salutations to each and all at the table, and to any and all that care for my love.
Affectionately yours, G. V. W.
