SPURGEON 2 PAGE ALS REGARDING FUNDRAISING FOR AN IMPORTANT CITY MISSION WORK. 1884
What an encouraging letter of Spurgeon endorsing work of R. H Tompkins! These letters have nearly dried up on the market and auctions houses.
As is, a very nice bold autograph of C. H. Spurgeon.

(Marginal note, upper left: “To friends concerned in City Mission Work”)
Dear Brethren,
I have lately had the most pleasing proof that God is richly blessing the work of Mr R. H. Tomkins at the Townley Street Mission Hall. I have seen quite a number of working men & women who have been led to Jesus by Mr Tomkins’ labours. He is doing a thoroughly sound & useful work. I have never been more pleased with any mission than with this, only the plant needs watering with a little gold-water. It is in too small a pot, & the roots are cramped, a far better mission-hall is wanted.
I have cheerfully taken upon myself to pay to the City Mission the amount that they formerly rec^d from a neighbouring church, & hence I cannot do much more for Mr Tomkins, but I earnestly hope that Christian gentlemen in the neighbourhood will see that the wants of the Mission are supplied. I wish him abundant success.
