Dear Brother:

I received your letter of February 2^nd stating you had
selected me as a Missionary to Great Britain. I gladly accept this
privilege. I note you fix the date for starting March 2^nd. If it is
absolutely necessary that I go March 2^nd I will be ready but if it is
possible to make it March 15^th or April 1st. it will give me a little
more time to fix up my business affairs. Awaiting your reply, I remain

Your brother in the Gospel,
J. T. Rackham

than if he should leave on the 2^nd inst; please let him know wether his request is granted.
Bishop Thomas J Stevens. 5^th ward.
