Letter from Lewis Albert Warren, 22 April 1898

President Wilford Woodruff Box, B. Salt Lake City Utah Dear Brother Your letter of Notification of April 20th 1898 received, stating that my name has been suggested and accepted as a Missionary to Southern States, to start from Salt Lake City Utah June 16th 1898 and in reply to same. I have no reasonable excuse to offer, only my own weakness and imperfections. I know that No one can take this Authority unto himself but He that is called of God.

Wilford Woodruff, Your notice of 20 inst at hand, am pleased to think that I have been counted worthy to be called, as a misionary, as a repersentive of the church of Jesus Christ of Laterday Saints, and can only say, that with the help of the Lord, I will endever to fulfill it in an honerably, and acceptiable ^way^ to the priesthood.

Letter from Andrew Smith Jr., 22 April 1898

Friday . President Wilford Woodruff. and Councillors, Beloved Brethren: Your letter to me with instructions (to me) as to what you desire will be carried out to the very letter if possible. I do not think I will be able to leave Sydney before the 18th of June, as the work to be done will keep me here (in the Colonies) until after the leaving of the May boat. The agency at Sydney have not received any instructions from Mr Coyle up to date. Two mails have come since I received letter from Geo. Reynolds informing me of the arrangments made between you and the agent at Vancouver. I believe the changs^ing^ of the agency, from the Huddard Parker Co. to the Burns Philip's S.S. Co at Sydney has caused them to overlook the latter part i.e. the instructions they should have sent to Sydney. I have two men released from their labors and if word does not come before the next boat leaves it will very much inconvenience them. If they have overlooked it entirely I may be delayed in my return, there have been two other elders released to leave Sydney June 18th
