will be accomplished. I shall however be compelled to assist
him from this Office, as I am of the opinion he is unable to

and it may be that after a time, some interest may be awakened.
France was also dead to all the efforts made by Bro Bunot
to get a foothold in that land. Brother Schoenfeld writes quite
hopeful in regard to Austria, and I have written to him to have
brother Beisinger make his way quickly again into that country
