Dear Brother.
My son, B. G. Thatcher, has received a type
written notice, signed by Geo. Reynolds, Sec., but bearing
no address. This notice asks if it would be agreeable to
his feeling and consistent with his circumstances for him to
go on a mission early in 1892 to Europe. I have taken the
liberty of writing to you personally about him. He is just
starting in life, having been married only a few months.

plant here, and was specially trained that he might take the
business in hand. We are just getting established, and if he
leaves, I am at a loss to know where his place could be
filled, unless by importing a stranger from the east or
