New York, Oct. 20, 1863.
Richard, my dear, & kind friend,
I thank you for sending
that letter to me, which came from
Logansport, as it was of use to me.
As to when I shall be with you, or
whether I shall ever be, remains in
the future. My matters with the
Bp remains "in statu quo" until such
times as he can receive answers to
certain letters he has written to Il-
linois. I feel sorry for my little flock
in Morris, but the Lord will care for
them if they will but trust in him.
The Lord never forsakes those who
put their trust in him, I hope &
trust that you will always re-
member that the safest spot in
the world is at the cross, "looking
unto Jesus". He is the Author &
Finisher of your faith, & he will
bring you safe home to glory, [C],
