Dear Brother, Yours of the 13th inst. have been received, notifying me to make arrangements to start from your City for Scandinavia on a Mission, the time of starting was omitted in the letter you sent.

Letter from William Spry, 20 May 1890

P.O. BOX 103, Chattanooga, Tenn., President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Utah Dear Brother - Enclosed you will please find circular letter which I have just gotten out for the purpose of sending them among the Elders laboring here. I trust it will meet with your approval. The three Elders who left Salt Lake on 14th inst arrived here yesterday all well and have left for their fields of labor. In addition to the two others notified—Elders Taylor and Worthington— we shall be pleased to receive three more to supply necessaries and meet the demand made on us. We are ready for them as soon as they can make it convenient to come. Just at present we are meeting with but little opposition here; the Elders all seem to be employed and all the reports coming in from the different Conferences are quite favorable and we are led to believe that much good will result from the labors of the Elders in the near future. I leave for the West tonight with a small party of emigrants and expect to arrive in Salt Lake about 1st June having to call at Colorado on my way out. My kindest regards to yourself and brethren associated with you. Your Brother William Spry
