Dear
Brother:
Just
a
line
to
answer
a
question
or
two
which
you
ask
in
your
letter
postmarked
October
10.
It
was
the
longer
of
the
two
testimonies
which
I
sent
you
that
I
received
first;
the
shorter
is
the
one
I
did
not
know
of
until
I
wrote
to
W.
C.
White
for
a
copy
of
the
other,
and
he
sent
me
both
of
them.
No,
I
never
read
it
to
anybody.
I
simply
considered
it
wes
inspired
by
J.
E.
White,
and
I
gave
it
scant
courtesy
until
within
about
a
year,
when
I
realized
that
I
had
turned
down
a
message
from
the
Lord,
and,
coming
to
that
conclusion,
changed
my
entire
attitude
toward
the
spirit
of
prophecy.
Not
that
I
did
not
believe
in
it
in
a
general
way,
but
it
was
entirely
too
general
to
be
very
helpful
to
me
in
the
Christian
life.
To
Very
sincerely
yours,
C.F
Bottrsease
P.
S.
I
have
no
doubt
the
testimony
about
whieh
you
inquire
was
read
to
the
other
workers
in
the
Nashville
publishing
house.
Of
course
J.
E.
White
must
have
received
a
copy
of
it,
#u¥é
I
have
no
doubt
he
communicated
it
to
dhers,
though
I
do
not
know
that
such
was
the
case;
but
I
know
it
was
usual
in
such
cases
to
send
one
copy
to
the
person
to
whom
the
testimony
was
addressed,
and
to
someone
else
also,
and
as
J.
E.
White
was
at
that
time
head
of
the
publishing
house,
in
Nashville,
it
would
be
only
natural
that
he
should
receive
a
copy
of
it.
0f
course
the
company
connected
with
the
publishing
house
was
not
large
at
that
time,
and
I
think
there
was
no
regular
chapel
