Having finished my
work here and being about
to start for home, I thought
I would send a few words
and very cordially thank
you for all kindness shown
to me during the same.
I have also a question
which I would be thank-
ful for having answered,
if possible before I go home,
and that is whether I am
expected to take a mission
to Turkey. I have had no
official notification at
all, and do not, conse-

quently, know whether
it has been decided to
call me or not.
Br. Jack, at the President's
office told me, he had
been instructed to pay
me $150 in cash, and the
balance in tithing orders.
This arragement would
be nearly satisfactory, if
I am not called on the
before mentioned mission.
But if I am, then I feel
that I must very respect-
fully ask you to instruct
Br. Jack to pay all the
amount, or nearly all, in
cash or in orders equal to
cash in value.
It will take me nearly
one half of the appropriated
$403 to pay a little debt,
contracted during very trying
times in this Territory, and
what little equipement I
need for myself and for
my wife, before I leave her,
etc: And I suppose that
the remaining $200 are
the very least so lon a
journey can be under-
taken with.
In consideration of
these circumstance I would
ask, if it be possible to
get the $200 still due
me in some other pay-
ment than thit tithing
orders. Of course I would
not any of till the
day I am going on
the mission.
Please let me know
about this matter,
if possible, Thursday
or Friday. After Friday
