As we have now one here who would answer for that purpose, could you recommend some one who would be able to come, as they are quite anxious to get one of our people for that occasion. B. H. Roberts is their choice if it was so they he could come. Trusting to hear your mind in the matter soon. I am your brother in the Gospel Horton D. Haight
