In the confusion of many cares and many calls for help, he may make mistakes. Among the scores of appeals that come for help, your case may seem to be neglected. At such times remember the heavy burdens that are laid upon the one whom you think has failed to do his duty. Remember that it may be impossible for him to grant your request. Perhaps it would be a great mistake to grant it.—Lt 169, 1904. {2MCP 633.3}

I sin omsorgsudøvelse kan han i forvirring begå fejl og mange beder om hjælp. I snesevis appeller om hjælp, kan din sag virke forsømt. Husk her på at der ligger tunge ansvar på ham, som du mener har forsømt sin pligt. Husk på at det er umuligt for ham indfri din anmodning. Måske vil det være en stor fejltagelse at tilstå det. — Brev 169, 1904.
