Letter from Lucius Scovil, 27 February 1855
Provo City
Bro W. Woodruff
Dear Sir
I recieved yours of the
25 Inst and hasten to answer the same
I shall endeavour to pay you a part of
what I owe you before long I think I shall
have some money (i.e.) I have a prospect
of Getting some I know that the debt
ought to have been paid before this time
but circumstances have been such that it has
been out of my power but be assured of
one thing I will pay you the whole of it as
quick as I can. I have other debts to pay, but
I have done the best I could over and above
my living pay the Taxes, Tithing &c
I could pay all of them without Cash I settled
my tithing last fall and am nearly square
I intend to be down their at Conference if not
before I will do the best I can
Respectifully Yours in the Covenant
Lucius N Scovil
