This is a wonderful, and very rare acquisition. We have handled a few George Muller autographs over the years, but never a full letter. And this one is lovely.

Beloved Sister in the Lord,
I knew not till today that beloved Brother Treutler* was gone to his rest. In April last it was 56 years when I saw him first in Berlin and ever since he has been dear to my heart. One after the other of my dear friends is taken home and I am left. I thank you for the very kind wishes for me. I did indeed enter on my 90th year on Sep 27th. My never failing Friend and Helper remains to me and I find Him faithful and invariably the same.
You will now find that God, our Heavenly Father, is in an especial manner the Friend and God of the Widow; and may the remainder of your earthly pilgrimage, though walking without the visible fellowship of the beloved departed one, yet be the happiest of your whole life.
My dear wife unites with me in many thanks for your kind present to us. . .
Yours very gratefully and affectionately in the Lord Jesus,
George Muller
