Dear Bro:-
 
We wish you to enter upon the duties of Church Historian at the Historian's Office, as Elder Carrington, the present Historian is called to perform other labors, and is necessarily unable to attend to the history.
 
He will transfer to you the custody of the Records &c. and he or his assistants will instruct you as to your duties.
 
Praying that you may be blessed in your labors for the welfare of Israel.
 
We are, Your Brethren in the Gospel
