1883 C. H. SPURGEON. Wonderful 2pp ALS Showing His Care & Love for Young Ministers

What a wonderful, personal letter. 

Addressed to a Mr. Griffin, who is apparently a minister, probably in Wales, Spurgeon begs him that he would find some cheap accommodation on the seaside that a young minister who has graduated from the Pastor's College might be recovered. He notes that he is frequently depressed and suffers physically. Spurgeon has sent him with 5 pounds and will forward another 5 if need be.

Thinking of the height of Spurgeon's fame at this period, the idea that he would write a letter, give money, and care for a young minister who could do nothing for him, well, that's a lesson in leadership for us all. 

2pp. Very good condition.
