Dear Brother:

Your letter of
Jan. 18 just received, calling
me to fill a mission to
the Northern States.

In answer I will say
that I accept the call though
feeling my weakness and
inability to perform such a labor.
But I trust in the Lord to
aid me in performing this duty.
If nothing hinders I shall be
ready to stard on the date appointed.
