which his position enables him to employ; with ID
official and other materials placed within his read|

attempting to establish in foreign countries, psp
may be published, which is not unworthy 81 Y
support Of his country. In undertaking the vi
he knew he had many difficulties to overcome, md
lessons to learn, many sacrifices to encounter. "

Some errors he may have already committed. NJ
upon one point, he can speak with great peaa
