your family, to serve His cause, and bless the world as you have done for many a day, and at last grant you an abundant entrance into His kingdom above, to join the ransomed throng who have already beheld their blessed Lord and Saviour.
Yours with much esteem,
Dr. and Mrs. Guthrie, with their youngest son Charles, had made all their arrangements to visit America in the summer of 1867, and were to be Mr. Carter’s guests. They came as far as Queenstown, but the motion of the steamer had so bad an effect on the action of the Doctor’s heart that he was obliged to give up the voyage, to the sore disappointment of his many American friends. His son made the journey alone, and won many friends in this country, who still remember him with cordial interest. He visited Mr. Carter in New York and in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
