(1881-1923?)

From Lowell, Mich.

Dear Primitive:

  According to promise, to the members in Emmet county, this State, I will inform you and your many readers, that I met the members of Emmet county, in council on the  7th day of May. Had some business not very pleasant, but still got through as good as could be expected.  Ten members arrived from W. Va., since last fall, among whom is Eld. Martin Cosner, in those care we give the church in full.  We have made five trips to their country in three years.  The church is called Little Traverse by name.  it now has thirty-one members, and three deacons to help brother Cosner.  This church is the farthest north of any I know.   From Grand Rapids it is two hundred miles north; from our place, two hundred and thirty miles.

   It is to the best of our judgment quite a healthy country; not so cold in winter as further south in Michigan or Indiana.    Yours fraternally,   George Long.
