Letter from William Thomas Stewart, 2 December 1893

[end of sideways text] Auckland New Zealand Decr 2nd 1893 Pres W. Woodruff, and Counselors Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren, Yours of Oct 14th conveying my release and the appointment of brother William Gardner to preside over the Saints in this part of the vinyard came duly to hand. We feel much gratiedfied over the privelege therein contained of a limited number of the saints being permitted to gather out of this land to the bosom of the church, and feel thant in the main it cannot but result in much good not only to the majority of those who go but to the work in general throughout these islands. As to their location in the Kanab country, there is probably no place in Utah, where, climate and everything considered, ismore suitable. And as to the continuation of my labors in Zion, for the benefit of this people, I can say, that to do the will of the Lord is my only desire, whether it involves duties naturally pleasant or otherwise, in this case it will be a pleasure to me to render any service I can to this people with whom I have been so much associated, and in whose interes welfare I have felt so deeply interested. Whether any of them will be ready
