Arose feeling quite well. Ate breakfast and bid the good folks adue and had
traveled only a short way when we met a buggy coming toward us. To our great
surprise we found it contained President Lee and Elder Clark. It was one of those
large two seated buggys tand President Lee told us to get in as we would have to
return to Childress. When they arrived there they all had dinner and then retired
to rooms as the Wells Lodging House. Here President Lee told them that I was
released from my Mission and that Elder Clark was to join Elder Lewis as his
partner and we were to return to Fort Worth as quickly as possible. We talked way
into the night before we had Prayer and retired.

bought tickets. Elder Clark and Elder Lewis to travel east to a new district and
President Lee and I to go northwest to Fort Worth.
I had to spend two days in Fort Worth filing reports, and had to wire home for
some more money than I had there. In the meantime I found out that Elder
Hansen had left earlier and rode a bicycle home. He said he had not had to worry
about food or lodging in his mission, so he might as well see the country, myself,
I just wanted to get home but sorry my mission was over.
