Elder Ralph Harrison.

Dear Bro:-Yours of the 9th. inst. has been received. We are pleased with the spirit of it and the remarks it contains.

We feel that we are Missionaries to the people all the day long, and that is the way the elders should feel, and so live, by a constant exercise of faith and a godly walk and conversation as to have the spirit of the Gospel abiding within them continually.

We give you a special call to visit the Wards of this City and the surrounding settlements and preach to the people from time to time. Your name will be enrolled on the list of the Home Missionaries, and you will receive your appointments by notice in the papers signed by Bishop
L. D. Young, and we pray that you may be blessed in your ministrations among the people.

Your Bro. in the Gospel
Brigham Young
