win confirm by my actions In the future
the appreciation I have expressed in
words. BY complying with your wishes
and by obedience to your requests /
VIII endeavor to retain your friendship
and regard. You have accomplished
much during last year, but we find.
as the months roll by. our field of use
lulness broadens. We find the COM

mand more of our time and attention

feeling that naturally arises when we
permit ourselves to think we cannot
overcome the difficulties we must en-
counter before we can accomplish all
the good we aim to do
