Letter from Charles Arthur Welch, 26 November 1896
Morgan City, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brother Yesterday I received a letter from Elder George Reynolds asking if my feelings and circumstances are such that I can go on a mission. In reply will say my term as County Clerk of this County expires December 31st. of this year. I would then like a few weeks to arrange my own business and then I am prepared to go. If convenient to you I would be pleased to learn as early as possible what part of the world I will have to go, that I may make the necessary financial arrangements. I am proud to think I am worthy to be a messenger to carry the glad tidings to the children of men. Praying God to bless His work in the earth I am, Your Brother in the Covenant, Charles A. Welch. Very good. Eastern States. J. F. S.
