Millville President Wilford Woodruff In as much as I have been called to go to the Southern States on a mission; I feel in that as in many other things, that you have the right to call men to work in the Ministry, although the way seems dark and little chance of raising the money; but I belive the Lord can bless us if we put our trust in him. And my present feelings are to go and fulfil that mission Ephraim Yeates Geo O Pitkin Bp I hope he will succeed. J. F. S.
