Letter from S. R. Smith, 27 September 1892
Mr Woodruff
Dear Sir:
As you recall it, I addressed you
a considerable number of months ago in regard
to your History, telling you that I was a confirmed
invalid and had commenced to write a short
history of Christianity, my intention being first
[illegible, ] and it of course goes without saying, this
[toned] truth; you were good enough to send me
a full account of yourselves free of charge, and alt-
hough it is late, I secenily acknowledge receipt and
return thanks, and will inform you also that
my health has become so bad that I am oblig-
ed to desist from compiling my profesed history -
I have reached the year from 33 to 1024," or mi-
ght say, the first thousand years of Christianity.
It is more than probable that I will not become
able to resume my writing, and also that no pub-
lishes would care to have what I have completed.
Respectfully,
S. R. Smith
P.S. Allow me to call your attention to a critical article co-
written by me entitled, "The Westminister Confession of Faith,"
perhaps you have seen it?
