and all and myself, waiting when he shall change my vile body and make it like his own most glorious body.  And [I] wish to leave to you everything that I have in this world but my faults, and them I take with me to the grave, there to be buried in everlasting oblivion; but leaving my virtues, if ever I had any, to revive and live in you.  Amen.  So come, Lord Jesus; come quickly.  Amen.

Asael Smith
