I received your letter
of the 12th inst, on the 19th, and will say
that I am willing to fill a Mission to Great Britain, but having only emigrated
from England, in the summer of 1887
and having worked short time during
the past winter, and the Mine having
been closed down for 7 weeks; during
May & June, my circumstances are such
that I could not honorably leave on
July 18th, as I have incurred a small
debt, and having no home of my own,
I would have to leave my Wife to the
kindness of her friends and relatives.
