Respecting Elder Newman of Ogden I will say: We have all the Elders
we need at present. Elders in our field do
not do much from June to September, it
being so hot and sickly. If Elder Newman
leaves here May 15th he will be unnecessarily
exposed and be of no practical good to the
mission. We needed one to make our
pairs complete so Elder J. C. Lyon ac-
cording to his request, will leave here on
the 21st. It is very trying on our boys
to be iniciated into that climate in the
spring and almost invariably they get
sick. However I can make use of him
if you deem it proper for Elder Newman
to go in May. He will report himself
at Sulphur Springs Chickasau Nation Ind Ty.
