Now that happily I feel myself restored to a position where
I can take up with continuity and vigour the threads of my manifold duties, the
bitterness of every disappointment felt, time and again, in the course of the
past weary months at my feeling of unpreparedness, have been merged in the
sweetness of the present hour, when I realise that spiritually and bodily I am
better equipped to shoulder the responsibilities of the Cause. The thought, so
often comforting and sustaining, that in the counsels of my British co-workers
of that land, I shall find spontaneous and undiminished support as well as wise
and experienced assistance, is surely one of those forces which will hearten me
in the midst of my future labours for the Cause.
