Beloved Busy Bees:— Truly this is an hour of "sweet surprises!" You all, ere this, have read the joyful news in the August Journal, embodied in our Mother's promise of an early invitation to visit her in her Concord home, as did the "big children" on Monday, July 5th, in response to her message read in the Mother Church on July Fourth. I will quote the part which causes our hearts to bound with delight:—
My precious Busy Bees, under twelve years of age, are requested to visit me at a later date, which I hope soon to name to them.
With love, Mother,
Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., June 30, 1897.
