Dear Bro:-Yours of the 19th ult. has been
received.

It would afford me great pleasure to assist all the Saints to emigrate who need assistance, but our resources for this year are already taken up & there is very little prospect now of our doing much more in that way this season. unless the means can be furnished.

Your brother in the Gospel.
