I have repented, and try to live a
better life in the future, and
as our Father in Heaven is a mercy-
ful, one, I feel that he will forgive
many of my wrong doings. As to
my own feelings I feel that a
mission would, (as the saying is)
be the making of me, and while,
my circumstances are not the best,
and while I know but very little in
regards to the Gospel, I am willing to
put my trust in him who governs all
things, and do the best I can.
My wife also is anxious that I should
go, and now I think this is all. You
will see I have not been very faithful
Your letter states faithful Elders are needed
&c) but trust I will be more so, from this
time forth, and now as I have given
you a sketch of my life, and if you still
deem me worthy to go, please let me
know as soon as possible, and I
will arrange my affairs accordingly

As I am Your obedient Servant,

Peter. R. Gillespie

I Endorse the answer of Bro Peter with pleasure
