Folded twice for mailing. Very good. <p>Ray Palmer replies to a Mr. Savage who has asked him to contact "Dr. Hall". Palmer regrets that Dr. Hall is out of the city till the following week. "I preach for him one more Sabbath. As soon as he returns, I will see him if I can. One may almost as well try to catch a deer in the Adirondacks, I suppose, but I will try, & will make report to you...."<p>Ray Palmer was an American pastor who wrote a number of hymns, the best known being "My Faith Looks Up to Thee". Palmer wrote the lyrics for this hymn upon receiving a vision of Christ shortly after graduating from Yale University. He only unearthed them two years later when Lowell Mason asked him for a contribution to a new hymnal. At the time of this letter Palmer held the secretaryship of the American Congregational Union in New York City.
