Dear Bro.

Your letter of
the 11th at hand.

Regarding my
feelings with regard to
taking a mission to Great
Britain
, I can say I am
perfectly willing and will
be prepared to leave on the
4th of June provided my
business does not detain
me.

Last winter my sheep
were illegally taken from me
from off the public domain,
and put into the estray
pound by the Pomontory
Stock Company.

My sheep were mat-

trially injured, and I
thereupon entered suit
against them for damage.

This suit is now pending
in the First District Court
and should it be settled
previous to the above mention-
ed date shall be pleased
to perform my mission, if
not will endeavor to have
it settled without me, and
leave on that date anyway.

Your Brother in the Gospel
James Smith
