A Word to the Little Flock - James S. White

Abroad." This was written December 20, 1845, as
a personal letter to Enoch Jacobs, and was first
published by the recipient in The Day-Star of
January 24, 1846. Then on April 6, 1846, it was
reprinted in broadside form by James White and H.
S. Gurney. The statement as it appears in A Word
to the "Little Flock," with the exception of minor
editorial changes and added scripture references, is
identical with the full account of the vision as first
printed.
It may be of interest to note that Mrs. White
states in a postscript of her letter to Mr. Jacobs, that
this account "was not written for publication," and
commenting later she wrote, "Had I for once
thought it was to be spread before the many readers
of your paper, I should have been more particular."
