Dear Brother -- Your letter Mch 24th stating that my name had
been suggested and accepted as a missionary to Great Britain was
duly received. After careful consideration of my circumstances
and conditions I respectfully submit the following: For the
past five years I have been afflicted with Sciaticaand at times
with affections of the Rectum causing serious pain and distress.
I have found that I cannot depend upon upon my health enabling
me to perform my labors and duties in life. I have a pecuniary
obligation of $400.00 which is now past due. I have a family
of ^a^ wife and three children depending upon me for support. I have
always felt it my duty to do all I can as a Servant of God in
helping to bear off His work upon the Earth. I have now informed
you of my situation and circumstances and if you desire me to
perform this Mission I will endeavor to do so to the best of my
ability. If on the other hand you deem it wise to release me I
will endeavor to shape my affairs in future that with the
blessing of health and the grace of God I hope to be in such a
position as to merit a call. in the future.
Your Brother in the Gospleel J. D. Fife E Shatford Bishop 4th Ward
Weber Stake
Let him be honorably
released and if in the
future he feels that he
can take a mission he
can so notify us.
J. F. S.
