Please do favor me with a quick
reply advising me what to do.
Oh if I could never do hard work
again if I could only get the strength
of nerves & brain again how I
would rejoice & praise my Heaven
ly Father. I have covenanted that
if he will heal me I would devote
my life to the Ministry.
May God bless you & I do pray
that you may be the means in
His hands of lifting me from
this lamentable condition
