Dear Brethren
I received Your Kind
Letter last night in which You presumed by the time Your Letter
would reach me, I should be in charge of the interests of the British
Mission, I feel my weakness very much, and lack of the necessary
qualifications to fill such a position, and was it not for the asourance I
have of Divine assistance, by being Humble and Prayerful I should certainly
shrink from the task, if I make any mistakes I hope the Brethren will
pardon me. In regard to Elder W B Dougall Jr, President B Young
who will have reached You ere this, will give You all information in
connection with Him, Wilby is still with His Uncle John W Young at
22 Portland Place, ^London^. We received a letter from Him last night, in which
He says Am getting better everyday and beginning to feel like myself
once more, He said in His Letter that S M Barrett is quite sick , Your
instructions, in relation to Wilbys future developments will be adhered to
Elder Thos E Taylor is here with us at 42, one number of the Star has been
issued since Wilby left for London and this Weeks number is all ready for
the Press, Brother Taylor thinks with the help of the Brethren He will get
along. You said in Your last letter to President Young You had not been
advised as to how many Elders would be needed for the Scandinavian Mission
I wrote to President Christiansen, receiving His answer yesterday, in which He
said the number needed, would be Twelve Sweeds, Ten Danes, and
Eight Norweigens, He said He had forwarded some names to this office
