performed a lengthy and faithful mission, and we do not think it wise to have
you continue there any longer. But before you leave we desire you to appoint one
of the Elders to take charge of the Mission, and notify us who it will be. We
hear Brother Angus T. Wright very well spoken of, and the brethren generally who
know him think he would be a very suitable Elder to take charge of the Mission
when you leave. If your views agree with ours, then you are at liberty to appoint
him and transfer the business of the Mission to him. Set him apart to preside
before you leave, and then you can return as soon as you feel led to do so.

Two of us—Presidents Woodruff and Cannon—returned a day or two ago
from a vnisit to the Sanpete Stake Conference. We had a very enjoyable time and
held ten meetings during our absence, one of which was at Nephi. We saw your
son there and other members of your family, and they were in good health; and
while in Sanpete we met your returned wife and child, and were very glad to see her.
She was in good spirits and health, as well as the baby.

We havo just got word that Judge Zane has been re-appointed Chief Justice
of the Territory. This, we hoped, would not occur, and have done what we could
to prevent it. It has not been our wish, nor for want of any exertion of ours
against him, that he has received the appointment. But the Lord will control his
acts for His glory and, no doubt, for our salvation; so we accept it with resig-
nation.
