Wherefore brethren and friends, while you have the assurance of the intigrity, fidelity, and ability of this servent of the living God:— and hoping— <​Trusting​> that your hearts and energies will be enlivened, & deeply engaged in the building of these houses, directed by revelation for the Salvation of all Saints, and that you will not rest where you are, until all things are prepared before you and you are gathered home with this rest of Israel to meet <​your​> God— I feel strong in the belief, and have a growing expectation, that you will not withhold any in your <​means​> in your power that can be used to accomplish this glorious work. Finally, as one that greatly desires the salvation of man, let me remind you all to strive with a godly Zeal, for virtue, holiness and the commandments of the Lord. Be good; be wise; be just; be liberal; and above all be charitable, always <​abounding​> in all good works; and may health, peace, and the love of God our Father, and the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord, be and abide with you all, is the sincere prayer of
