Yours of 16th inst. duly
receieved and noted in which you
state that my name has been suggested
and accepted as a missionary, and you
wish to know my feelings in regards to
the matter, also if I can be ready to leave
Salt Lake by the 15th of April.
I feel to thank God that I am considered
worthy of filling such a responsible
a possition, and my most ardent prayer
is that I will be an earnest worker and
fulfill an honorable msission. God
being my helper I am willing to
make a trial, you can expect me
to be on hand to be set apart as required
