London 12th Sept 1850.
Dear Br. Whipple.
I am so weary that I
am about to go over to the
continent for a little rest.
The work has been great &
precious. I send brother Beecher
the Banner of this week which
contains Dr. C's valedictory.
I write this note to introduce
the bearer, George Morris. a
poor young man who, like
thousands here, is out of business.
I have interested myself to get
his expenses paid to America.
He may need a friend to advise
[page 2]
him when he arrives as he
will be nearly out of money.
He will tell you his story
& I think he will tell you
the truth. He may or may
not need your advice
in regard to getting some
employment until he can
help himself. Wife goes with
me to the continent & joins
in much love to yourself
& Mrs W. In great haste
I am your Brother.
C. G. Finney.
P.S. Br. Weed is at chester
very low.
