Dear President Mabey,
We have received your letter of 17 September with thanks We shall never forget 21 November 1978 and thereabouts. The seed of the Gospel you sowed will grow into a giant tree. The Church in NIgeria will surprise the world in its growth. The number of baptisms, confirmations and ordinations you had in the country, only show a beginning.
The presthood [sic] blessing which I received in the hospital has made me well. I was told that Brother Cannon Jr. & his wife came to visit me. Though he did not meet me. It was the day I went for a check up.
I am in receipt of your beautiful picture to us. If it is not against the mission policy, we wish you may work with us for another years. (REmind Authorities).
Your name has gone to the record in the history of the Church in Nigeria and the Salt Lake City.
Regard your work with us as one of the greatest blessings ^God has for you and ^your family. God bless you.
Sincerely
Pres. Anthony Obinna
