Jackson, Mo., April 4, 1900.
We, the prisoners of Jackson, Missouri, thank you for sending us those
good papers. We would to God we were able to express our gratitude
for the Gospel Trumpet and to you for your great desire to help us to
be better men. I wish we had thousands of such men and women as you
are. I do wish that every poor soul in this world could get a Gospel
Trumpet and read and see the great light it gives to any one trying to
serve the true God. I desire your faithful prayers to help me bear the
cross, and also wish the prayers of all your brothers and friends that
I may be a better man. Pray God to deliver me from my enemies and out
of this prison. I have a dear wife and six little children and want to
return home to them. I will leave here to-morrow for Jefferson City Mo.
prison, and hope to hear from you again. May God help you to help every
poor soul.
