President W. Woodruff
Dear Brother
I herewith acknowledge the receipt of my call
and appointment to fill a mission to England
and by the grace of God and His holey Spirit for
my guide I hope to be able to perform a good Work
and prove myself an honorable representative of the course of
Truth and of being the means in the hands of our Makster of
doing much good in this land, the Land of my birth. i am
the individual Who brother Sudbury spoke to you about
telling you of my conaidion of the past and also of the
present and seeing it was impossable for me to remain
at home in Safty I deemed it best to go somewhere where
I could be doing some good rather then to spend a second
Long term in the Pen. but my circumstances are such
as will necssarally place my family somewhat
dependent as you will have received my reccomend
from my Bishop there is nothing in the way of my
immediate departure for the field of my labor
