H. Kammareth Berlin 8. 8. [18]91. President W. Woodruff! Salt Lake. Dear Bro: Please exuse me, that I have not answered yours of the 28 of Apr. before; being now several months since I have received your letter. It being quite surprising to me that you've granted my request. And I thank you very much for your kind- nes; and may our heavenly Father send his blessings, ...

that I may be a worthy labor- er in that respect—that the Lord may enlargen my musical- ly talent so that I can be an active worker with both, soul and heart for his king- dom. As child, at the age of about 8 to 9 years, the load of this talent began moving, but I did not understand at that time, that it being the Lords way, working so marvellous. Then I ...

took lessons on the piano. Now this during time, servants of the Lord came to our house; received the gospel—got baptized etc. and left the old world; and came to Zion—me being at the age of 15 years old. After that time the talent began to slumber, some- times awakened. And I th thought all the time, "if I to be sent out to Babylon as a minister of God, to ...

"proclaim the glad tidings to "all nations, and to warn the "people, to convert and believe, "show repentance, and be bap- "tized, for the remission of sins, "and then receive the holy Gost "who leads and guids us in "all truth and rightiousness, "and a comforter in all sorrow "and grievousness. and that if my time be ended, to perfect my musically talent. And so the Lord granted my desire. ...

And now I will devote myself unto this part, as far as my talent reaches, and my knowledge, to become perfect. It is a rather hard task, which I have choosen—to bring to a value and solution. But I trust in the Lord, and pray to him daily, for wisdom and under- standing. And that I may be useful instrument in the hands of our Lord and ...

to be active in this respect also. And as is tit written: he, who has a talent, care for it. And so I will ask the blessings of the Lord, that this may be. The Lords will be done! To him be all the praise honor and glory, from now and for evermore. Amen! ...

May God inspire the haearts of our Elders sent out as missionarys into the world that they may seek the humble uprighthearted and all them who seeks for truth and right- eousness; and his work be established upon the whole earth and may the time soon come when Israel be free—And his will done upon earth as it is done in heaven. May God bless the youth of Zion ...

that they may grow up to be good men and womaen in the sight of God. God bless all Israel. I, now close, and pray God to bless you with all the blessings of life and eternity and preserve you from all harms and danger and that you may live a good many years yet, in happyness and peace in the midst of Zion. Is the prayer of your humble eservant. Amen. I am, your Br. in the gospedl H. Kammerath. [sideways text] I enclose my Photo. in kind remembereance. [end of sideways ...
