Rev. Thomas Spurgeon, Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington, to unnamed correspondent, 11 May 1898.

My dear Sir,

         I want you to thank M.r Harrison & the members of the Y.M.C.A. who have so generously helped me to rebuild the Tabernacle.

         This practical sympathy cheers my heart.

         God bless all the givers

                     Yours gratefully

                                 Tho.s Spurgeon
