Publishing Again
115
Rocky Hill, Conn.; Camden and West Milton, N. Y. These were all
meetings of labor, but very profitable to our scattered brethren.
Removal to Saratoga Springs
We tarried at Ballston Spa a number of weeks, until we became
settled in regard to publishing at Saratoga Springs. Then we rented
a house and sent for Brother and Sister Stephen Belden and Sister
Bonfoey, who was then in Maine taking care of little Edson, and
with borrowed household stuff began housekeeping. Here my hus-
band published the second volume of the Advent Review and Sabbath
Herald.
Sister Annie Smith, who now sleeps in Jesus, came to live with us
and assist in the work. Her help was needed. My husband expressed
his feelings at this time in a letter to Brother Howland, dated Febru-
ary 20, 1852, as follows: “We are unusually well, all but myself. I
cannot long endure the labors of traveling and the care of publishing.
Wednesday night we worked until two o’clock in the morning, folding
and wrapping No. 12 of the Review and Herald; then I retired and
coughed till daylight. Pray for me. The cause is prospering gloriously.
Perhaps the Lord will not have need of me longer, and will let me rest
in the grave. I hope to be free from the paper. I have stood by it in
extreme adversity; and now when its friends are many, I feel free to
leave it, if some one can be found who will take it. I hope my way will
be made clear. May the Lord direct.”
