Thursday morning
Dear friend
Your very welcome letter
came to me like a green spot in a
desert, for I have been laboring
under such a season of despondency
that hung over me like the nightmare
it seemed impossible to extricate
myself from it and until I lost all
abiding faith in myself, at least.
I think it was partly owing to the
great struggle of giving up the old
homestead reaching, as you know it
must to the very foundation, the
love of home and its surroundings and all
its varied attachments, the tearing away
from old friends and associations
and last of all our meetings and those
who compose them. There is something
so different in our meetings where we
meet for converse soul to soul
from the cold, formal, precise church.
