Our saints, I urged, need visiting and encourageing and besides I would have a better chance of mastering the language.

Since my letter I sugested it would be a good idea to visit this sister and as- certain just how matters stand, and if it would be unwise to accept the money we can explain to the good sister, and on the other hand, if every thing is all right we can receive the money. President Young thinks the idea a good one and I have, therefore, decided to leave Constanti- nople in a few days. But before starting I thought to pen you a few lines relative to the out look in this part of the vineyard, and, at the same time, to render an account of the funds sent here
