Thomas Fork Bear Lake Co Idaho Nov 1st 1897 President Wilford Woodruff Box B. Salt Lake City Utah. Dier Brother— After due consideration and consultation with my Bishop (and his Counselers) whom I will ask to sign this Letter with me, I take pleasure now to say, that I can be ready now on about two weeks notice to go on my Mission in answer and obideence to the Call which I inclose.

Letter from Anthony Woodward Ivins, 1 November 1897

Colonia Juarez. . President Wilford Woodruff & Counsellors. Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethren:— I write to call your at- tention to the fact that our stake quarterly conference convenes at Colonia Diaz on the 20th and 21st. We verNy much appreciate the visits occasionally made by the members of the quorum of Apostles and should be very pleased to have some of them with us at our coming meetings. If possible we would love to have President Cannon or Smith come down and see us at home but if this is not possible any of the members of the quorum, perhaps Bro. Woodruff, Owen, could come or if all have other engagements we will go on as we have heretofore and know from experiance that we shall have the blessing obf the Lord with us even if we are alone. In case any of the Brethren come they should leave Salt Lake in the morning over the D.&.R.G.W. to Grand Jun- ction from from there to Pueblo over the D.&.R.G. and from there to El Paso over the A.T.&.S.F. By following this programme they will reach El Paso without delays in a 12 1/2 days from Salt Lake. Arrange to reach El Paso so that they can cross the river and take the SRio Grande Sirerra Madre train at 8 A.M. on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. The train only runs three times a week. The Pierson is the best hotel to stay at in El Paso and they will want to pass the night there as there are no good accommodations on the Mexican side. With best wishes and prayers for your welfare, I am your brother in Christ, Anthony W. Ivins
