LETTER NO. 1. June 14th from Princess Victoria: Dear Maggie, I was glad to get the notes, also a letter since. They were indeed helpful and I had no difficulty in understanding them. I did enjoy the piece about the "Holiest of All." I had read the same chapter and felt quite disappointed I hadn't seen it all myself. These few words have come into my mind so many times today, "And your joy no man taketh from you." I think there is something so consoling about them, don't you? I hope you keep well in every way. V.W. - Princess Victoria 2

LETTER NO. 12 - 12A. from Princess Victoria: My Dear Maggie, I was so glad to get your letter a short time ago. I read one of yours to (Daisy) too. I did enjoy the bit about Caleb. I had been reading about it yesterday and it has encouraged me too. Did I tell you that my mother said if I'm as still determined to "live this life" six months hence - I could attend the meetings. One month has gone already. --------? thought it best that the permission should be in writing. My mother has consented to this. I have been nearly a year within the Lord's family and it has been such a happy year. My heart is so glad. I must finish as I promised a line to Ruth. Truest love, V.W.P.S. I was glad to hear about Birmingham. - Potora Royal School

Edward Cooney from Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, N. Ireland He was excommunicated in 1928 for various reasons. Among them was the failure of his attempt to convince the leaders that they had abandoned the original tenets of the faith. When his preaching became more and more in conflict with current policies, he was ousted and those who agreed with him were also expelled. They formed a separate branch which is referred to as the Cooneyites. He continued his worldwide missions as an itinerant evangelist until his death in 1960. Details are on TTT. - Cooney, Ed 4
