The time having arrived when we deem it advisable to
release President Ward E. Pack from the duties of the presidency of the Sandwich Islands Mission to return home to his family and friends in Zion,
we have deemed it wise and proper to appoint you to succeed him in that
important position. We have instructed Elder Pack to turn over to you
all books, papers and accounts, and to give you all information necessary to
enable you to understandingly take hold of the duties of your new calling.
He will also transfer to you all properties, etc., as is usual on such
occasions.
We believe Elder Pack has labored with great diligence and zeal in the
performance of his duties, and in the guidance of the Church. We trust
you will in like manner be blessed of the Lord; and that you will have s^m^uch success in your labors both temporal and spiritual, and that you will
be enabled to bring many souls to a knowledge of the truth. To this end
we pray God to abundantly bless you, to preserve you from all evil, and in
due time bring you home in safety to the association of the people of God
in Zion.
