A Former Pastor Writes
The Williamston ENTERPRISE,
Dear Friend:
I wish to thank you most
sincerely for the kind things you
said about Mrs. Dowell and my
self in your issue of November
7th. 1 have been so very busy
since leaving Williamston that I
have been here but little, and
have had no time to answer some
letters from my friends as I
should have done. I left hurried
ly and had no time to say good
bye to those I would liked to have
visited and shaken hands with
once more. I wish to thank all
for their kindness to me and my
family, and to send you a year's
subscription to The "ENTER
PRISE", as I shall wish to keep
up with the good people with
whom I parted so reluctantly.
With best wishes,
Yours truly,
Geo. J. Dowell.
