Letter from John Crompton Rushton, 21 September 1897
Iona, Idaho,
Pres. Wilford Woodruff—
Salt Lake City
Dear Bro.
Yours of July 20th [18]97 was
duly rec'd. Same stating that my name
had been suggested and accepted as
a missionary to Great Britiaain. Although
my reply is somewhat tardy, owing to
circumstances which I do not think it
will be necessary to explain, In reply
or in ans. to this call will say that
I will endeavor to be ready by Feby;
1898 the date named in letter. Had the
date been March instead of Feby. It
would have been more convenient for
me as by that time I would
have finished the settlement of Tithes
for the year [18]97. I am ^however^ willing to go
and will endeavor to be ready at date
named in your notification.
Yours Very truly,
J. C. Rushton
Alfred J. Stanger Bishop
