Dear Brother!
On the 28th of Novbr I received
a Notice, stating that my Name hade been
presented for a Mision to scandinavia, and
asked for my feeling and circumstances
regarding such a Mision.
First I desire to say: In youth
I received the Gospel (I were then studying
Physiology and prepairing for a College Aducation)
In the fall of 1855 I received my first
call as a Misionair in my native Country
which continued till spring 1862, when
I emigrated and arrived in Salt Lake City
in Septbr the same year. I then moved
to Gunnison sanpete County and helped
to build up the place and protect the
people from Indian depredation.
In 1871 and 1872 I respounded to a Mision
with Canute Peterson (now presiding over
Sanpete Stake) to scandinavia, after
my return I moved to Manti where
I hade the great previlege of working
on the Temple ontill the increase of
practices as a Physician and by advice
