Berlin, Nov. 25th 1895.
Dearest Father and Mother:
You may rest assured
my beloved parents I was indeed glad to
hear from you again, when after a long
silence your kind letters of Nov. 3rd and 5th
were recieved. They brought Joy to my heart and
I felt thankful to hear from you again.
It has been a long time since I wrote to
you last for the reason I have had no
letters to answer and have been as
usual overwhelmed with work. Am pleased
to inform you that Corlnelious Schettler has
been appointed to labor with me in
Berlin. I think it will prove a blessing
to him and I am sure it will to
me as my load of responsibility has been
too great and I feel some times about used
up soul and body. I am so anxious
that this Branch should prosper while
I am called to preside over it and not
having had proper assistance has made
my anxiety very great. There is more walking
and work of all kinds to be done it
Berlin than in any other Branch in
the mission. If I am successfull in fulfilling
a good mission as I would like to do
I tell you I shall be thankfull as long
