My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I am glad you did not stand upon ceremony with me, and wait until I answered your first letter. I seem slower at writing letters than...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I think sometimes that no one professing to fear the Lord can be more tempted, tried, and exercised, than I am with sin. Unbelief, infidelity, and...

My dear friend, Beecher I was glad to read your experimental letter, as I have many trials and temptations, both as regards myself and the ministry; and a word of encouragement...

It is with great reluctance that I bring forward any matters relating to myself; and yet to disarm (if possible) enemies, and to afford some explanation to friends, I have thought...

My dear friend, John Grace I am much obliged to you for your kind and affectionate letter, and for the unpublished letter by Huntington which it contained. It is a very...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I hope I may say I am, through mercy, mending somewhat under the treatment I am passing through here. The doctors give me encouragement to believe...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin Knowing that I am poorly, you will not expect a long letter from me. Still I will (D.V.) try and write a few lines. As regards...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I hope I may say I am gradually mending. Still, it is very slow; indeed, scarcely perceptible, and the time of year is against me. The...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I was truly sorry to learn that you had been so seriously ill; but at the same time was equally glad to hear you were better....

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I have been very poorly with the influenza, and, indeed, kept my bed nearly four days. I am now, through mercy, better, but still tender against...

My dear friend, John Grace I hope that by this time you are fully recovered from your fall, and have had additional proof that, if a sparrow cannot fall to the...

My dear friend, Joseph Parry I hope I may say I am through mercy better in health. I have partially resumed the work of the ministry, having commenced to preach once...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin. I am much as I was in health, and do not seem to gain much strength at present. I still continue to preach once on the...

My dear friend, Joseph Parry I reached home safely, through mercy, on the Friday, to dinner, and found my dear wife and little family pretty well. I preached at Wellingborough Thursday...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin It seems that troubles and trials still await me, and what is to be their end or outcome, I know not. I was thinking the other...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin We had a church-meeting here, on Lord’s-day, and received two candidates for baptism. They were both well received, being well known to the friends and hearers...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I never came to London more unwillingly. I left Oakham very poorly, and weak in body and tried in mind, and called myself a thousand fools...

My dear friend, Thomas Godwin I was so poorly on Saturday night, and coughed so much during the night, that I almost despaired of being able to preach at all. I...

My dear Mr. Beecher From various causes I have not been able to attend earlier to your kind and friendly letter. I think sometimes that Satan, seeing the Lord has blessed...

My dear Friend, Joseph Parry, It is a mercy that where the Lord has begun a good work He will carry it on, and bring it to perfection. If it were...
