Conference to fill the office of
labourer of the Single Sisters in 
<placename>Gracefield</placename> in <placename>Ireland</placename>, which I
accepted in humility & no reliance
upon the same kind support I had hi=
-therto experienced from our Saviour.
Here I continued to labour altho' in
great weakness till I received another
call from the U. E. Conf<hi rend="superscript">ce</hi> to serve
the family of Single Sisters in <placename>Dublin</placename>

and arrived in <placename>Gracefield</placename> on the <date>27th</date>.
At first every thing appeared strange
to me, the customs of the country
being so different from those in
<placename>England</placename>. I found the family, parti=
-cularly the younger part in a very

having come from <placename>Gracehill</placename>, I was
on <date>Jaur 18</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi> solemnly blessed for my
office. I surrendered myself on this
