Letter from John L. Dalton, 23 January 1894

San Francisco Prests Woodruff and Counselors, Dear Brethren: Yours of the 15th releasing me is to hand. I cannot say that I feel thankful for it, for the reason that I have labored under very adverse circumstances, and it does not look like I have done anything. I am just begining to see a little of the result of my labors, and to leave it just now it looks like I have not accomplished any thing, I would have much prefered to have remained here an other year, But I have made it a rule of my life to do, in the church- as I have been told, so I bow in sub- jection to what you say but not with a thankfull heart, but with many regrets. I will abide your council and do as you have said. With kind regards to all, your brother J.L. Dalton. It is not usual that an elder receives his release to come home with unthankfulness, I think it is an indication that his release is timely. J.F.S

Your letter of announcement was accidentally misplaced and I did not recover it till today and had forgotten that you requested that the name be forwarded to you for which seeming neglect I humbly ap- ologise. With kindest regards I am Your Brother in the Gospel, Thomas C Callister all right J. F. S.
