If FamilySearch was only granted license to share source images with researchers at their 5,000 worldwide FamilySearch centers and 1,500 affiliate lbraries, someone will need to visit a facility to obtain the image for you. If there is a physical book housed in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, local Magnolia Karen Lowe can probably drive over to scan pages on Friday or Saturday.
