Additional Notes

Reported June 9, 1921 - The wife and baby of President Richards (San Francisco Conference) have joined him in the mission field.  They will remain with him until his release which will be near the first of July (Calimis 11:8).  President Richards was honorably released from his labors at the monthly priesthood meeting held in San Francisco on June 17, 1921.  After the meeting there was an informal reception for the Richards consisting of songs and speeches.   Pres. Richards gave a touching farewell address expressing 'just pride' to his wife.  They were presented with a handsome set of silverware (Calimis 12:1).
