Yours of Apr. 17 is received, informing
me of my call to the Northern States
as a missionary. I feel like compling
with ^the^ request, yet I feel my inability
to perform the labors that will
be required ^of^ me not hadving had
much experience in preaching the
Gosple. But Knowing the Gosple to
be true that I have imbraced
and that I should always be
willing to carry out any require-
ments that are made of me by
those placed over me in authority
in righteousness I feel like
doing my best, trusting in the
Lord for his assistance.
