Dear Brother
I received your letter stateing
that my name had been suggested
and accepted as a missionary
to Australasia. In reply I will say
I am willing to go and with the
help of the Lord will make evry
effort to get ready to go. the
greatest obstacles in the way are
to get money to pay my fare as money
is so hard to ra^i^se in this part
of the country but the Bishop
and others say the way will open
and I am willing to sell every thing
I can to g accept my home which

is all I have to leavee for the
support of my wife and children and
aged mother. Still a greater obstacle
than that is my Education, which I
am sorry to say is not as good as it
should be as I have not had the
chance to get a good Education
but if it is the will of God I am
willing to make any Sacrifice
neccessary for the Gosple sake.
Can you inform me what the
fare will be or what it will
cost me for the journy and
what books I will need and
also when I will be expected to
be in Salt Lake City.
Trusting that I may hear from
you soon I remain your
brother in the Gosple of Christ
