Dear Brother: Yours of
the 9th Inst. has just been
received. In reply will say
I will endeavor to be prepared
to leave San Francisco by the

the Samoa Islands.
Will you please answer by

to be set apart for the labor,
also, tell me near the amount
of money it will require to
take me to my field of labor.
I, indeed, feel like a weeak
instrument to assume such
an undertaking, but feel
to trust in God for support
and comfort.
