“Here am I; Send Me, Send Me.”
One of many Applications.
June 24, 1878.
Prof. A. K. Spence:
Dear Sir—I just received a catalogue from Fisk University, and I must frankly express myself as gratified at the noble work that is being accomplished by Fisk University.
I am anxious to attend the University so as to prepare myself as a missionary to Africa. I have a poor mother, and I am her only support, and I know not how I shall ever be able to make preparations.
Let me know the provisions made for those preparing to go on mission.
I have made quite an advancement in the English branches, but desire to pursue the High Normal course proscribed in your institute, and also the studies of the theological course.
I feel that I must go to Africa. “Here am I; send me, send me.”
