Letter from Alma Henry West, 30 January 1891
Salt Lake City
President Woodruff
Dear Brother in the Geospel
I Receieved my Apointment
of the 5th and was somewhat
suprised to think that I had
been selected to fill a
mission to the Southern States,
—at the time of my apointment
I was in the Employ of
J. W. Young on the U. C. Ry
Filling the Position of
Sup of Bridges Buildings
and Cor Shops—and it seamed
to me that it would be imposable
for me to get things in shape
to Leave at the Apointed time
but after Looking up the
Afaires of the Company
and also my own I finde
that I can get ready
