of my appointment to a mission to Great Britain
I accept the appointment and will try and
be at the office Sep 17th ready to be set apart
and receive such instruction as requisite
if I am priviledge to special rate to Salt Lake
please send order direct to Rush Lake Iron Co

I feel to indorse the call
on Bro Ward for a mission to Great Briton
he can leave his affairs in good shape
so that his family can get along alright
in his absence I believe; so that he
can fill a his mission if his health does
not fail he is a little odd in some
respects still I think he will mak a
good missionary
