"Worked Wonders"
Reading edition
Declares Dr. Garvin, Physician Jefferson County Jail
Louisville, Ky., July 24th, 1902.
Rev. George L. Herr,
My Dear Brother Herr: It is with much regret I have heard of your determination to leave us. You and your good wife have now been engaged, for about four years, in the noble work of saving souls in the Jefferson County jail, and to the success of your efforts I can truly bear testimony.
I must confess that at first I had little hope of much good being accomplished, but your constant devotion at all hours, night and day, has worked wonders, and I am satisfied that many who came steeped in sin and in their own minds hopelessly lost, have left the prison at peace with God, and with a determination in the future to lead a better life.
Wherever you go, may God be with you, is the wish of all who know you, and especially that of your friend,
Sam'l H. Garvin.
Physician to Jefferson County Jail.
