Letter from James McMahon, 20 February 1891
Fillmore City, .
Pres. Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City,
Dear Brother:
Your notice that my name had been present-
ed and accepted for a mission to Great Brittain came
to hand about two weeks since. In reply will say;
That if it is possible I will meet you at the appointed
time or sooner, as I accept the appointment cheer-
fully for the reason that I desire to labor for the es-
tablishment of the Kingdom of God wherever and
whenever I am wanted by the authority of the Lord
upon the earth. If satisfactory to the Presidency
I would prefer to meet you about conference instead
of the 15th as I desire, with your approval, to go earlier
than the company with which I will sail, to Illinois
to visit relatives in order that I may get some necessa-
ry information with reference to my relatives in the
old country.
Trusting this will meet with your approval I am
Your Brother in the Gospel.
James McMahon
I hereby approve and endorse the foregoing Letter of
accepatance.
Thomas C Callister Bishop.
All right
J. F. S.
