A scrap of a note by Edward Hitchcock explaining why poor men are better suited to life as missionaries. Hitchcock stresses that even if there were enough wealthy men going into ministerial work, it would still be desirable to assist the poorer men in becoming ministers as well since the church wants educated young men in "feeble churches," "wasted places" and "new settlements."
