Letter from Charles Comstock Richards Jr., 29 October 1897
President Wilford Woodruff,
Salt Lake City,
Dear Brother:
I recieved your letter of the
19th inst., informing me that I
had been selected as a missionary
to Switzerland and Germany, requ-
esting me to arrange to start for
my field of labor not later than
next April, and to advise you
what my feelings are in regard to
the call. In reply I must say
that I esteem it an honor to be
chosen to carry the Gospel to the
nations of the earth, and by the
help of the Lord will be ready to leave
