God that you feel yourself called for life
to this great work of yours: & trusting
that He will give you health & strength for
it.
Pray take care of yourself: & do not
rush to work, (as I have been always compelled
to do): but give yourself a rest. You
cannot think what an intense impression my
own experience leaves me about this.
I am 'appalled' that your appointment
has not yet been confirmed by the Treasury.
