On the 30^th of November I wrote to Prest Young setting
forth my desire to travel with out Purse & Scrip.
I said, among other things, that if he thought it
wisdom, I would send him what money
I had. I havent received a reply from Prest
young but I have learned I cant travel with
out money. I dont doubt the Lord for I know
I am the recepient of rich blessings from Him
every hour in the day, and were it not for His
spirit I enjoy, I could not stay here. As I
said in one of my previous letters, I love
to tell people we mormon elders travel on our
own means, We pay all of our expenses from
our own pockets. We do not "preach for money and
devine for hire." But my means have long since
been exhausted and I have no way of obtaining
more. I am perfectly willing to give my
note for every cent of Church money I use,
while engaged in this work. And I hope
that on this condition you will kindly
advance me more money.

Bro Herman is laboring with the Turks
and Armenians at Aintab & there a bouts. He reports
everything "OK" though he needs a companion
the worst kind. It is not necessary for
missionaries, laboring in that part of the field,
to understand German.

Hopeing to here from you soon, and begging
your pardon for this lengthy letter, and praying
the Lord to bless you I remain
