Letter to John Taylor, 2 May 1885
St G.
President John Taylor
Beloved Brother
I write to say, That it is necessary
for our recorder M. F. F. to take
a mission somewhere, and it appears
to me it would be better to send
such Men to New Zealand, or some
field where they can do some good
there to send Men who can stay at
home in safety. I have had my mind
upon New Zealand for him. He is ready
& willing to go. The wards will do what
they can towards taking care of his
family, but he will need some help
to partly pay his fare to his field of
labor. New Zealand will be a
much more profitable & wider field
to labor in for a few years than
the sugar house Ward. I would like
to know if you would have any
objections to his taking the mission
