with the old Blind Brother A mexican By the name of Juan Antonio
Gurube. He was also nearly Deef. He had a terrible complaint
to make against Br Tenney because when we met befor he did not
tell him I was an Apostle and after all the explanation that
he could get He told Br Tenney that he would forgive him as
Jesus did those who crucified him for you know not what you
do [Luke 23:34]. The old Gentleman was vary glad to meet me allthough he
could not see me. We held a meeting at his house in the Evening
