In our interview yesterday, you touched my sympathies, very much, when you explained that a weariness would now and then cast a shadow over you. I feel so sorry that all could not be sunshine, that shadows must pass over this dream - life. To us it would seem more natural, but to you, one, who lives to do, (and teach others how to do just right.) should be forced to listen to discords I am sorry for. In reading one of Mr. Clark’s sermons I found the enclosed paragraphs.Editorial Note: The enclosed paragraphs are not extant. Perhaps you may get a bit of solace in reading that other teachers, of the highest rank, have had doubting but striving students.

May we all, and you in particular, be given loving strength, to help onward, others, of less ability.
Is the sincere wish of your humble student,
H. P. Read.
