I have often wished to be favored with a letter from you, but what I could write would be of so little interest, I felt it an intrusion on your time. at the same time I know you are interested, in all who are in the field. I am one of Dr Sawyer's students, have been here only a short time, little more than a week have a number of patients and already my work is demonstrating the "Truth" as a little leavenMatt 13:33 ¶Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Luke 13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? Luke 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. , will do much for there is not a face here that I ever saw before.
