I am very thankful to you. You relief me, but I can't show to
you my thankfulness with my words. But I at all times bless to
God for you with this prayer: O God! if thou hast eyes, look upon
me. O God! if thou hast ears, hear my prayer. Let me be civilized
with Bible. O Lord! thou send thy Spirit upon my Hardy, and let
him relief me from sad condition. O Lord! please! set thy eyes
upon my Hardy, and keep out him from illness and temptation.Your obedient servant,
Joseph Nee Sima
