Your notification of
my appointment, as a missionary
to the Eastern States, was received
this morning. I will say in reply,
that I am willing to go, and
do the best I can in my feeble
way. I am not naturally a talker,
but with the help of the Lord, will
endeavor to do all I can, to assist in
spreading the truth. Praying for your
speedy restoration to health, and for
the welfare and prosperity of Zion.
I remain as ever your humble
Brother in the Gospel.
