C. H. Spurgeon, London, to unknown recipient, 10 August 1885.

Dear Friend,

         You have long been my faithful friend, & I pray the Lord to give you a full reward according to his grace.  I have now to thank you for yr generous help of £20 to the four works: Orphanages, College, & Missions.  Peace be unto you.

         May you find rest in your new abode, a& may your days of age be days of joy.

         I may be able one of these days to see you.  Let me know where it is that I may look you up should I ever be in your direction.  I feel a deep attachment to you.  The Lord bless you.

                                                         Yours ever heartily

                                                         C. H. Spurgeon
