Blaine Davis Co, Pres. Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother, Your letter of the 16th was received with surprise. I must say I feel my weakness have- ing had but little experience in publick speaking, but feel it my duty to go and do the best I can in progress ing the work of the Lord hear on the earth, And help to promulgate the Everlasting Gospel. I therefore have decid- ed to except the call, go trusting in the Lord to help me in my weakness. Your Brother in the Gospel, Thomas. Cook. George W Kendell, Bishop Very good. J.F.S.
