Chapter 29—Reclaiming the Lost . After we had reached our home, we felt most sensibly the wearing labors of our Eastern tour. Many were urging me by letter to write what I had related to them of what the Lord had shown me concerning them. And there were many others to whom I had not spoken, whose cases were important and urgent. In my weary condition the task of so much writing seemed more than I could endure, and I called in question my duty to write so much, to so many persons, some of them very unworthy. It seemed to me that there was certainly a mistake in this matter somewhere. {LS 183.1}

Efter at vi var kommet hjem, mærkede vi hvor trættende et arbejde vi havde haft af vor tur til Øststaterne. Mange opfordrede mig i breve at skrive og opfordre mig til at fortælle dem hvad Herren havde vist mig om dem. Og der var mange andre som jeg ikke har talt om, hvis sager var vigtige og påtrængende. I min trætte tilstand var den store skriveopgave mere end jeg kunne klare, og jeg betvivlede min opgave i at skrive til så mange breve til så mange personer, nogle af dem meget uværdige. For mig virkede det som om at der et eller andet sted var noget helt galt.
