Dear Bro, being notified Nov. 16th to
prepare to start on a mission to the Southern
States by Dec. 13th, '87, I returned a favourable reply,
supposing, as was the custom when applica-
tion was made, that I would be accorded the
privilege of visiting England the second
year. Learning, however, that the custom
has been stopped for obvious reasons,
I would respectfully ask, if it meet with your
approval, that my mission be changed
to England. I have to offer as a reason
for preferring this request that I have a
large number of relatives in that country
and desire to hunt up genealogies in
connection with my labors in dissem-
inating the principles of the Gospel.
awaiting an early reply, I remain
