Dear Brother,
 
Yours of the 14th. inst. asking counsel with regard to your getting married has been received.
 
The step you meditate is the correct one. It is in the right direction and one which we would like to see our brethren take when they enter into the marriage state.
 
We have repeatedly advised the young brethren publicly and privately to take this course, believing they will find it for their best interest and that of all concerned.
 
Ever praying for the welfare of Israel
 
I remain,
Your Bro. in the Gospel
