10/19 I deem it best to be perfectly frank, and I do not clearly see how this rescue is to be accomplished. I can form no definite plan of action; all I even hope for is, that the good God will open up a path, showing me how such desperate purpose may be accomplished. If this prove true--and I beg you pray fervently to that end--you may trust me to accept the guidance, let the personal danger be what it may. But I cannot plan, cannot promise--I can only go forward blindly, seeking some opening not now apparent. This alone I know, to remain here in conversation is useless. |
