Published by "A First Century Christian Fellowship", a forerunner of 'The Oxford Group' and Moral Re-Armament, this occasional Letter aimed to keep people informally in touch across the globe.
From the introduction to the first Letter:
There are "Houseparties" now in almost every corner of the world. They want to be kept in touch with each other. Personal correspondence goes on but is inadequate. At best only a limited number can know of what the Fellowship, as a whole, is doing. Miracles taking place in Oxford are shared with those of us in New York, but the troops in Simsbury, Conn., Sidney, Australia, or Rangoon, Burma, do not always hear.
Hence the appearance of THE LETTER which will probably reappear from time to time. It does not aim to be a weekly, a monthly, or a quarterly. It will come to you very much as a personal letter might, when distance makes conversation impossible but there is something to say. It does not propose to compete with any already existing publication. It is not "another magazine" anymore than the Fellowship is "another organization." It is primarily to help us all to keep in touch.
