Thatcher, To Presidents Wilford Woodruff. Geo. Q. Cannon and Joseph F Smith, Salt Lake City, Utah Last night I received a missionary certificate a from you, authorizing me to preach and teach the Gospel of Christ in Arizona, which, I am free to confess is a great surprise to me as I have received no intimation whatever, of my name having been presented to preform missionary labor. But, however, if this is your wish I am ready to go, but desire to receive more definate instructions from you, as to what localities, and what people, I am expected to labor in and with. An immediate answer will be greatly appreciated by Your Brother in the Gospel, J. E. D. Zundel
