Dear brother
In regard to the Missionary labor that is requested of me, I will accept the call, and go forth and do the best I can in my weak way.
I can see that the work of the lord is progressing and I feel that I should be one to help spread the Gospel to the different Nations of the earth.
And I will present myself at the Historians Office on the day appointed, to be set apart for my labors.
Yours Truely, Gilbert. Reed.
