President Woodruff Sir
your letter of 25 July
is at hand. in answer will
say that I except the
call and if the way opens
up for me to obtain the
nesessary fund I will be
on hand at the appointed
time
have to say in
regard to Bro C R Lyman
he is thirty two years of
age has a wife and family of five Childen he holds
the Office of A Priest in the
Church he has not had
his endowments he paid
a full Tithing the year
of 1886 has been to Montana
over a year returned
home last december
has not paid any Tithing
since 86 here
he seemes well pleased
in regard to being called
to fill a mission
and is desirous of going

time he is to go
I think it will be
a great blessing to Bro

others if he can fill a
honorable mission
I mention these things
that you may understand
Bro Lyman's condition
as to his worthyness to
be recommended to the
Temple if he shall apply
