to take an interest in such things and thinking that hopefully he might be able to give circulation to some of the Appeals: If therefore 56 Wimpole Street Dr. [Mayo] should call upon you. You will [r]eceive him as introduced to you by me. And he will be interested in hearing particulars of your plans, which [it] was not [possible] in the little moment I had to speak about it, for me to explain. I promised him an appeal but I am very sorry to say he went away without it, but I shall send him one in a day or two and after [?] I think he will call upon you as [Mr. Wiggin]. Will you remember me and my dear suffering friend in your prayers. I believe in the promises to prayer and I ask yours, believing they will bring us a blessing - how dark the hour of suffering must be where the light of the Gospel is unknown. Pray that its brightest beams may shine now upon us - and believe me ever very dear Bishop Chase. Your most affectionate with gratitude and respect - Mary Caroline Ward
