Having some
years ago, while residing in Montreal Canada, read
a short history of your church,
which described it's ways of
working etc. and at that
time greatly interested me, it
became my desire to join the
Mormon Church as soon as
circumstances permitted. Until
now the course of events has
prevented me from carrying
out thmy resolution. I would
like very much to gain a
little insight of to the teachings

of your sect. And if it would
not be asking too much of
you, I would like to comm-
unicate with, either, you or
one of your auxillaries, whose
duty it is, for the purpose
of obtaining this much desired
information. aAnd if circumunst-
ances permit endeavor to
gain admission to your midst.
Perhaps a short description
of myself would not be out
of place here, it will give
you some idea as to ^my^ worth-
niess to become one of your
number or otherwise. I am
23 years of age. Canadian
by birth. Was educated at
a Jesuit college, and have
a very fair education. I am
Page 3
unmarried. I am strong and
healthy. I have studied med-
ecine but have little or no
taste for such study. And
lately have given my entire
attention to Bacteriological,
and Micro-Chemical research.
I make a fair salary, as an
opearating-room attendant in
one of our hospitals here. I
have very few relations and
no family attachments of any
sort, and am free to act as
I will. Hoping to hear from
you at you convenience.
