Mr. Pink's return address is listed in the letter as 29 Lewis St., Stornaway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. The stamp is cancelled Stornaway, Isle of Lewis. Evidently Mr. Pink recycled the envelope because it has his address under a glued on piece of paper with the following address Elder J. R. Smith, R 5, Box 35, Reidsville, No. Car., U.S.A. (See photo) . The letter reads Dear Christian friend: Greetings in Him Who has given His people so much cause to exclaim, O how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up in Christ, the covenant Head for them that fear Thee Psa 31:19.

I thank you for your letters of Nov 28 & 29 & I only wish I could reply at equal length, but I have had such a long & hard day's work that both my brain & eyes are weary: & I dare not postpone till tomorrow, for that God willing will bring its own duties, & probably another heavy mail.

This letter was passed down to me from my deceased pastor. If you can prove to me that you are a descendant of one of the persons mentioned in the letter, I will discount the price. Copies of birth certificates and drivers license of pertinent parties should suffice. Please email me with any questions.
This is a one of a kind historical religious document. A.W. Pink wrote many religious books that are still good sellers today.
