"My desire is for the prosperity of Zion, I see every day the importance of humility, that the work of God may prosper, and therefore ask the prayers of my brethren, that I may be kept from every false way, and be led into the truth as it is in Jesus. I have baptized 50 all in good standing. Yours in the Gospel, JOSEPH BALL."
