Your touching letter has been read by me with deep sympathy
and interest and my prayer will henceforth be offered for you that strength may
be given you to withstand and overcome the trials that are sent you by the All-Wise
for your ultimate deliverance, regeneration and victory. Do not despair,
remember the sufferings of our Beloved and rest assured in my sympathy,
affection and prayers for you. Persevere in your labours for our beloved Cause.
