-95- At home, Eighth month, [9?]th, 1921. My dear friend, Ida R. Chamness, in the gospel of Christ: I am poorly; and have been all of the year; able to be up most of the time. I have not been able to write to thee. I attended the Quarterly meeting at Snowhill last spring. Several said that we had a favored meeting. Silas Chappel asked me about thee. And he spoke highly of thee. The people at Woodland are crying aloud for help, saying "We need help." Walter W. Brown told me, they did need me in their meeting; 'there was plenty of room.' I am glad they have softened some: repentence is the first thing for them to do; the first step for them to take to the heavenly home. I knew they would have to pay dear for their work in suffering; say nothing of the loss to the meeting. I am glad there is yet some int-erest alive; for the salvation and upbuilding of the church of Christ in the earth. We have had trouble both of these persons at Woodland. They at one time gave thee the credit of adding the Southern quarter to that meeting: then they turned against the truth like Judas, the traitor. O, poor "man," how frail he is! - one thing to-day, something else tomorrow; he will not do to trust. Joel Johnson. Windsor, Virginia, Sixth month., 10th, 1922
