Battle Creek July 25. 1860 Rev P E Royse Cincinnatti Ohio Dr Sir

Your note of the 19th Came to hand yesterday. In reply have to Say that I have no particular acquantence with William Jaques.. His wife has been in my family for three years and is a worthy woman My acquantence with him is made from his calling two or three times to see his wife He has spent several days at my house. The opinion I had formed of him is that he is an inefficient well meaning man, His wife Says he has not been in good health for Several years and that quite a portion of the time he has been unable to perform laber. I have never heard any thing against his moral character and presence that charity expended upon him will be as worthily bestowed perhaps as it is in the one case in ten. His wife is absent from my house for a week or So visiting his friends. She does no know of his whereabouts.

Yours Truly C P. Collier
