Letter from Estella Rust, 28 August 1898
Koosharem, Utah
President Wifford Woodruff
Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother:
Yours of the 9th, has been re'cd. Was pleased to
learn that I was worthy to be called as one among that
noble band of missionaries; but after much consideration
and consultation with Apostles Lyman and Lund I
was advised under my circumstances to be set apart and go
as a visitor, that I might return at the end of six months
to again live on our land. They said under these conditions
I would be permitted to take my child. I had only thought
of going as a vis^i^tor when Pres. Jack suggested to my
husband that I be called.
Am willing to devote all my time and do all I can
in my weak way while there.
Can be ready to go after the 1st, of Oct.
Would be pleased to know at what dates Elders
are going, as I do not desire to travel alone.
An early ans. will be greatfully accepted.
Your Sister in the Gosple
Estella Rust.
P.S. Please excuse delay in answering.
E A Bagley Bish
