Dear Bro. Canright; Matters about campmeetings I fear are getting a little mixed. I supposed it was a settled fact that you would attend the northern N.Y. meeting, and had written Bro. Whitney to that effect. So I wrote to Bro. R. F. Andrews that I would attend the Illionis meeting; and having given him my word for that, and never having given it to anyone that I would attend the N.Y. meetings, I cannot disappoint him. So if you do not attend the N.Y. meeting, don't stay away under the impression that I will be there; for I am going to Illinois. Now I want to make a remark to you very privately. You remember the conversation we had on the Tabernacle steps about matters and things, and the question was up of taking Eld. W.'s word. I made a concession, and immediately withdrew it. I have felt bad since, that I made the remark I did. Of course I should feel bound to take his word under any circumstances. So please let that remark be as though it had not been. Excuse writing; it is so dark I can hardly see. Yours Truly, U. S.
