learned that the "path of duty
is the path of safety."

If you had asked me 'when
it would be convenient for me
to go,' I certainly would have
asked for a few months time,
but inasmuch as you have made
the appointment I will do my
utmost to fill it.

I had my barn, stables and about
twenty (20) tons of hay burned last
December. I wish to put up
another barn; I have three (3)
small fields which I desire to
fence, and my house to plaster
and finish—all before I go—
so that my property may be
secure, and my family comfort-
able whilst I am absent.

With the blessings of God, I expect
to accomplish all this ere I depart,
and I have faith ^that^ the Lord will
open up my way, so that I
can accomplish that which
I so much desire to.

I earnestly ask your blessings
upon my labors so that I may
not fail.

In humility, I am Your
Brother in the Gospel
