A.L.S., George Muller, three pages, small 8vo, Ashley Down, Bristol, 7th November 1894, to [Mrs. Truitler] 'Beloved Sister in the Lord', on the printed stationery of New Orphan Houses. Muller writes, in full, 'I knew not, till today, that beloved Brother Truitler 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 close 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, and in much sympathising Christian love. Yours very gratefully and affectionately in the Lord Jesus'.
