It is with great pleasure that I am able to hand you fifty dollarsEditorial Note: $50.00 in 1886 is the equivalent of $1,441.33 in 2021. the balance due on my note I feel most grateful to you for the extension of time allowed and will gladly pay interest if you so desire. Will you kindly have Mr Frye send me: the note

your teachings have saved me much suffering I should at this time be a hopeless invalid As Written: invaled but for the truth which you teach and which I learned while in the Class the burden of suffering of years has been rolled away and a glimpse of the perfect life appears.

I cannot understand how there can be a doubt the reward comes with every effort made for divine truth It is my chief desire to leave all other employment and go into active work for my MastersEditorial Note: Jesus Christ Cause the field of suffering and error is large and there is no laborers here. I think a good work might be done in Utah with earnest labor the Mormon influence which is great would be the principal opposition I hope that you may have the satisfaction of seeing the seed from your labor planted throughout the landMatt 13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. Matt 13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Matt 13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; Matt 13:4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Matt 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: Matt 13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. Matt 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: Matt 13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Most Sincerely
E. P. Adams
