On the road I chosen to be a sergeant of the guard and an interpreter and had a plenty to do and was blessed in it; and unto him I give all the praise, honor and glory, feeling very thankfull for my safe return in good condition rejoicing> in the midst of this people, with whom I desire to live and to die, and to live again for ever and ever. Amen.
