Letter from Andrew Kimball, 1 May 1888
President Woodruff, Dear Brother: Elder J. A. Booth arived here on Sunday last, he was still chilling but was not injured a great deal, he did not like to have to come home, guess all is for the best. He leaves the mission in a good healthy condition, prospects for several more baptisms. Those baptized are principally whites. I confered with Brother Richards and he thought best to give Bro. Ashton another opportunity of now filling a mission. We did so and he will leave here about the 18th ^inst^ all being well. Elders all feel well both in body and spirit. With regards to You and the Brethren. I remain Your Brother In the Gospel Andrew Kimball
