Letter from Samuel Andrew King, 8 October 1889
Salt Lake City, Utah, . Pres. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake. Dear Bro: In the latter part of July I received a notification for a mission to Great Britian and I was to start the ninth of this month, but being at that time engaged in Rail Road Contracts it was impossible for me to be ready at that date. I called twice at your office but did not find you there so did not report sooner on that account. I am please to state that my (that my) circumstances are such that I can leave some time in November if it meets your wishes. I am very desirous of going this fall and will not object to traveling alone should there be no other missionaries leaving at that time. I have not been at Fillmore since I received my notificaion so for this reason Bp. Callister endorsment will not accompany this reply. Trusting that I am worthy to fill a position of thisat kind creditably, that this late reply is acceptable. That you may have health, strength & joy in all your labors and the blessings of our heavenly Father to attend you continually. I remain With Kind regards Your Brother in the Gospel Samuel A King.
