er 10th,
and he is very happy to welcome you into the service of this glorious
Faith, and especially to see that you are going to serve in Alaska, a
country to which he attaches great importance.

He was also delighted to hear of the incorporation of Anchorage. The Faith
is certainly going ahead by leaps and bounds in the "barren North"!
