1965
- LOI 1965-6/7: E. Dillon's Rest After Active Ministry in Bahamas, Florida: Edward Dillon, Rt. 1, Coldwater, Mich.: May 1: "Mrs. Dillon and I just returned after an absence of four months... almost three in the Bahamas, and Florida... coming home by way of New Orleans. We had a wonderful time and persistent requests to return next year. We can hardly realize we were able to speak so many times at various places in the Bahamas and at Zephyrhills, Tampa and St. Petersburg, Fla. But we had to say no to other requests. I'm going to try to keep quiet for awhile. We are both very tired. But I will be 79 in October, and my wife 80 in September; and after three years of serious illness those who saw me at my worst say I'm a miracle."
1966
- LOI 1966-6/7: "Edward Dillon of Coldwater, Mich., hoped to be able to go to Nassau, the Bahamas for a couple of weeks in response to invitations to minister there."
1967
- LOI 1967-10: Pray for the Sick: "Edward Dillon of Coldwater, Mich., had to spend six weeks in the hospital, so weak that he could not answer the kind letters and cards sent by many friends. Mrs. Dillon tried, he wrote later, but was swamped. Mr. Dillon was beginning to gain enough strength and ambition to write a few lines again. He values continued prayer for regained strength, and that he might be able to do again what he desires most, preaching the Word of God."
