T.B. Parker Apologizes for Not Answering Mail Following Hunting Accident, 1903

Letter from T.B. Parker of Raleigh

Hillsboro, Jan. 9, 1903

On December 27th I was accidentally shot while hunting with a party of friends. Since that time I have been unable to do any business whatever except to dictate letters the last two days. My mail was detained in the post-office in Raleigh and was not forwarded to me at this place until yesterday.

This explains why many letters have not been answered, which I regret. I am now rapidly improving and hope to be able to return to Raleigh by the 19th. Until that time the brethren will please bear with me. I will give them the best service I can under the circumstances.

                --T.B. Parker
