I know it will be a Blessing to me, but will have to state my Circumstances I have been verry badly in Debt, but will ...

or at least verry little and I will have to call on my Bishop and the People generaly for assistance in Order to be able to go, and if I could have the Blessings of God attend my Labors here for another year I would be better prepared to go.
