Thanks to Tom Chantry who alerted me to this source! The item I have by T. R. is: Fellowship with God and with one another (excellent!). T. R. was unknown to me, but your Archive proves who the writer was from a list of other titles by the same author. That list may be found on the back cover page of "An Open Letter Respecting a Pamphlet Entitled The Local Assembly". When I find time I will review other titles by the same author. I converted the images and created a pdf from my scans. These were supplied to Tom and are available to any for the asking. Thank you for your help!
