Letter from George Drury Morrill, 14 May 1897
President W. Woodruff. Dear Brother: Your letter notifying me of the call to go as a missionary to the Southern States has found me away from home, having been forwarded from Teasdale. While I do not feel myself as well qualified as I could wish, nor so well prepared financial- ly as I should be, yet I am willing to do my best to fill the appoint- ment and trust that the way may be opened for me to be in Salt Lake on the 18th of August next as you suggest. Your Brother in the Gospel George D Morrill George Coleman Bp.
