I trust all will be very speedily straight. He is in the best spirit. There is more danger from those who will go with him in Montreal than from others but he & (?Slack) are simply settled to take the body on their own showing & say they are outside they avow in coming they had got all wrong but what were they to do & and the Lord has done it for them & meanwhile they have with joy learnt what the Church is. It is very gracious of the Lord for it was a trial for many & he was very much loved. Here too was a care when I felt as passing through Montreal I felt I must leave it to the Lord. Nothing could be done naught to set this little remnant straight which was graciously accomplished & they have about tripled in the (?shade).

It has been for his own soul a most useful time full of blessing & he has opened his heart & purged himself. We wait for the result as to the outward form but the blessing is evident & God is full of grace and faithfulness. At Clinton the blessing is real & I purpose going there a while. I have an invitation from Philadelphia from a cousin a clergyman, (?D.V.) a Christian I have not seen since 1817, he heard I was here & wrote to invite me, so thus far a door is opened there, I was going there to see three or four poor sheep & the Lord willing, visit Montreal; most of the brethren have now left the meeting cheered, strengthened, and happy. I have found instruction and blessing myself.
