Having met
one of your Priesthood who was sent to me
by our God, I have taken counsel of him
& this is why I address you. what I am to say to
you I do not know just yet I will wait a while
until I have the Risson or what will be spoken
to me
Hark say unto him open the way for your boy
for my son
When my son Edgar. Halter. McCormack
was born I holde him on my hands & offerd him
to my Heavenly Father & asked that I might rais him to
gloryfie & do his work. While I carried him I was in great
grief of course not having the understanding then
that I have now am responsible in part for sis'
impatirans & restliness. he is a virtious indoustrious
& loveing boy wishes to make of himself more than
the avrage man. he reads deep reading has no
componions but his books & myself. at this tme is
out of employment. has been with a sivel Enginer
