Letter from George Alfred Smith, 28 May 1898
Monroe, Utah,
Pres Wilford Woodruff
Dear Brother
My Brother, George A Smith
has received a letter from you
stating that he had been accepted
as a missionary: to the North Western
States and desiring that if all was,
well, he would be expected to report
himself as ready and be at the
Historian Office on June 15th to be
set apart for his mission
He, desires me to state for him: that
if his health will permit He will be
on hand at the date mentioned
my Brother is quite poorly on Health
at present and has been for som days
past owing to a heavy cold that seems
to be troubling him quite considerable
he reported himself ready ^to apostle Lyman while at Richfield^ thinking that
he would be all right in a few days,
while ^he^ is emproving slowly yet he fears
that he may not be in his usual
