TRANSCRIPTION

42 Broome Av.[?] N[ew] York
December 26, 1865¹
Messrs. Hart and Baker, Ed[itor]s, S[unday] S[chool] Times²

                 I thought it might be
interesting to your readers to
know that the hymn³ enclosed [which I]
clip from The [S.S.] Times was first sent to
me from Constantinople by Dr. Goodell⁴
then missionary there, to [-----------] of
this city [----] the note that accompanies
it in my Golden Censer⁵, I immediately
set it to the music there and returned it
to him. And he now sings it both
in English and Turkish.

Yours very truly

William B. Bradbury
