`I have given you all this information, believing that you would already have been identified with this work
had those who have had to do with the finance been honoured in this matter'.
Another believer wrote about the same time:
`We are glad to hear of your connection with The Companion Bible. This sets our minds at rest as to the
lines on which that volume will be completed'.
Responding to a suggestion from the co-editor, I prepared twenty-four appendices in connection with Paul's
epistles. These were acknowledged but never used. The reader may be interested to see the titles of these rejected
appendices, and perhaps see the reasons that prompted their rejection.

The following extract from a letter, written on April 17th, 1914 may not need a lengthy explanation, at least to
some of our lady readers.
`What you said in your letter to-day seems scarcely possible. I think you had better make haste and give me
the design for the frock or else it will be that keeping us waiting'.
`That' refers to the fact that we were engaged to be married for twelve years, before the happy union was possible.
While with Mr. Heward I was subjected to great pressure to give up all idea of marriage `for the Lord's sake', but
although very uncertain of the Scriptural grounds for my choice, I continued to look forward to that day when that
blessed partnership could be realized. We were married on July 30th 1914 at the Rotherhithe Free Church, and a
few days later war broke out bringing with it further problems, but finding us at last yoked together.
