Beloved Brother,
I was informed yesterday that
Elder Joseph S. Wright of this place
had been notified that he was
wanted as a missionary in Great
Brittain to leave S. L. City Aug.
14th Bro. Wright was set apart
here the day he received your notice
to be the 2nd counselor to the Bishop
of the Whitney ward by Apostle Moses
Thatcher, but notwithstanding
Bro. Wright is capable of doing good in
the missionary field and a mission would
very greatly benefit him the present
condition of the new ward would be
materially benefitted by his assistance for
a few months, or a year. And now
after laying before you the circumstances
if you see fit to use him in the mission
will you kindly so advise him again
We think the ward can spare him and that he ought to fill
the mission by at least April 188990—over—
