Letter from David Elisha Lindsay, 22 June 1895
Bennington, Idaho .
Pres. Wilford Woodruff
Dear Bro.
Your letter containing
the request that I should take a mission
to Australasia was received. And in
reply I desire to say that I regard it
an honor to be called to preach the
gospel to the nations. But owing to the
fact there were two of us in this
ward with the same initials which
made it necessary for me to ascertain
whether I was the ^one^ that had been sug-
gested or not occasioned the delay
noted in this answer. I have to
say that I will do all in my
power to reach Salt Lake City on
time to make other points as
indicated in your letter. I would
be pleasded however if its not putting
you to to much inconvenience if
you would inform me of the latest
date upon which I can start from
that point, as I shall need every moment
of time possible to arrange my
affairs here for my departure
Your Bro in the Gospel
David Elisha Lindsay.
A. R. Wright Bp.
Very good.
Please notify him as desired.
