was the last day I spent at home in Montrose and although
sick with the chills & fever most of the day I made
what preparations I could to start on my ^the^ mission on the

the Gospel to the Nations of the Earth and that to without money
purse or scrip with the power of disease resting upon

him for the recompense of [renewal]. May the Lord give
me grace according to my day and ◊c◊◊s for my [ink blot] [fire] &
a safe return to my family & friends while f◊◊ter [ink blot] ask
in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
