Dear Brethren:

I herewith submit the fol-
lowing names for your consideration,
and ask, that if aggreeable to your feelings
that they be called to labor as mission-
aries in the Indian Territory Mission.

1. Wm T. Harper, Bishop Albion Ward, Cassia
Stake, Bro. Harper had a younger brother fill a
splendid mission in I. T. and has always felt
the need of such an experience. I have not talked
with President Haight, but believe he would be
willing. He is a solid man, just such as we
need. He would not be needed until fall.

2. Lemhi Fostner Zundel, Willard, Box Elder Co,
Son of Bishop Zundel, who recommended his
son to me.

3. Orlando Funk, Sanford Colorado.

Elder Zundel is attending the University.
Elders Funk and Call are teaching, I ask
that those three be called to leave home
soon after school closes. My purpose
in asking for those educators, is; that
we may have some intelligent Elders to
continue the good work in Kansas, as
all our bright Elders now laboring in
that part of the mission, will be released
this fall if we can replace them.

The fall will be early enough for the
other named, Bro. Lyman if we can get
him at all? We must have some men
of intelligence and practicable knowlege
to opperate in Kansas, and lead out as
conference presidents.

6. Eugene Brim, Albion Idaho, son of Geo.

7. Wilford F. FPhippin Albion Idaho, also
