            <text>The book sent to hand all right.  I am under quite a compliment to you for sending it.  I sent you some stamped envelopes that will pay the Postage.  Bro Stewart and I held a communion here yesterday.  We had a very pleasant time.  Stewart preaches to day and I am through and at leisure.  Have not heard anything from Mr. McCombs.  If you have not sent anything here, you can send it to synod, or to Bro. E. Stewart at ------ Carroll County, Indiana.  He expects to go to Synod.  He has a Bro there that he wishes to see.  I think I will not be there.  Both time and means are lacking.  My business at home needs my presence.  If I would go I would not be at home before June.  Some people here are quite sick.  An old woman here by the name of Harbison is in a critical condition with disease or inflammation of the bladder.  I will start for home tomorrow.  Yours as ever.&#13;
Wm Ballantine&#13;
&#13;
P.S.  If anything turns up let me know.  Thanks for all your trouble with sending book and ticket.&#13;
