Excerpt from Life and Letters of John Paterson Struthers, M.A: Late Minister of Greenock Reformed Presbyterian Church
I have been asked by many to tell something more of my husband's life than has already been told, and so worthily told, by the Rev. Thomas Cassels, m.a., in M en of the Knotted Heart. I have thought that a collection of his letters would give the truest picture of his individuality and work. To those who have helped me to carry out my plan by allowing me to use freely the letters they have kept, I am very grateful also to my friends, Rev. A. C. Gregg, b.d., and Mrs. Gregg, of the Reformed Presbyterian Manse, Loanhead, who have greatly aided me in my work. I know these letters do not form a complete picture. There are gaps in time, while very important incidents in my husband's life, and even some of his dear friends, are not spoken of but the fact that so many letters have been kept - and, it seems to me, very lovingly kept - for forty years, has something to tell of the place he had in the esteem and affection of others.
I have included with the letters some biographical notes and explanatory statements, and have added a few selections from his other miscellaneous writings.
