Dear Sir

I am writing for your advice. I enclose a copy of my book "The Hope of England"1, and also copy of my magazine "Apostolic Truth". I am a young man 32 years of age, poor, & my income is about £10 per month, out of which I spend £2 to £3 on my magazine.

My method is Preaching in the Town Hall on Sunday & visiting homes & preaching in Cottages & Halls during week. But I find the burden more than I can bear. What would you advise me to do? I have thought of Associating myself with some similar movement, but would you advise it? Is there a Society or Church on my lines in England? I am out & out Christian. I mean by that, that I am a practical follower of Jesus. I do not want Money, but I would like to see my magazine going. Is it worthwhile? I enclose you the first number also.

You can see my position & I trust that you will write to me.

I am. | Yours faithfully. | Z. Henry Lewis.2 [signature]
