A. H. MacMillan Letter from 1915
This letter provides a small piece of insight about circumstances inside Watchtower about one year prior to C. T. Russell’s death.

Dear Marvin,
You post some valuable, helpful and interesting stuff I know, but I cannot read it !
I am not computer savvy enough to convert whatever you are posting in, and cannot read the verious documents simply by enlarging, could you please help ? I would love to read what you have recently posted.
Please help an old techno-phobe fossil !
Marvin, this is fascinating stuff.
Thanks.
Therefore I am in a straight betwixt three ...
Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: KJV
I wonder between which three - Pilgrim Service, attending the convention, going to his wife and son - was MacMillan torn?
If he ruled out wife and son, I can see why he supported Rutherford so wholeheartedly. Birds of a feather ...

wobble I click on the image once and it gives it its own page, then click a second time and it enlarges. Have you tried that?
I was wondering how you got this letter, but I forgot about this thread I started

Thanks SBF, I can just about read it by following your tutorial !
Interesting to see how shaky things were at the time, it could all have gone tits-up and we would not have had to suffer in the Borg as we did !
Thanks for sharing the letter startingover. Can I ask do you know if your grandfather was mentioned in the Bible Student literature from the period?
SBF,
Not to my knowledge.
1915, two years before my deceased mother was born.
Perspective.

startingover you can search pre-1916 Watchtowers and other literature at this site. It might be worth a look to see if your grandfather is mentioned.
