Dear Brother we
received your letter some time since
Do not Remember Date, calling George
McCune ^my Grandson^ on a mission to samoa
at that time he was on the western
Desert with the sheep herd, and up to
this time [page torn] have not been able to gett
any word from him, and the countey
is such that it would be almost impossible
for any one to find them except they
were acquainted with the country, and
we have not been able to find any one
that would go. about ten days ago
they was some parties goeing in that
vicinity where our herds was and they
promised to carry a letter to him with
your letter in closed. a few days
later a person called with the information
Page 2
from the parties we ^sent^ with that the
herds had mooved theirs to the south
and ours to the North and did not
know if they could Deliver the letter to
to him, but if he could not he would
try and Return the letter to us, but
we have heard nothing one way or the
other up to Date. his Mother is verry
anxious for him to go and allso
myself with his Uncles.
I hope this will proveve satisfactory
for the Delay in writeing and that he
will arrive shortly when he will answer
your letter, with kind Regards I Remain
your brother in the Gospel.
