with which to properly express
thanks to the many friends
who thus far have SO gracious

forts. May God bless and re-
ward each of you.
Now as soon as the neces-
sary prelirninaries incidental to
the building of structure of
this sort are complete, we plan
to start building. Of course,
since our means are limited,
and for economic sake. the
weather is an item we have to
reckon with also. But as we
said before, we are at the point
now, at long last, where we
can begin preparing to build.
For this we are very happy.
