“I now leave, not knowing when or whether I may return, to a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington.

Trusting in Him, who can go with me, and remain with you and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.”
