Letter from Eugene T. Woolley, 7 November 1887

Salt Lake City, . Pres. Wilford Woodruff; Dear Bro. I received a notice today signed by you wishing me to take a mission to the South- ern States, to be ready to leave this City on the 15 day of the present month. I have been out on the Weber after stock for the past two weeks, hence the letter did not reach me till today, as I arrived here only last night; I therefore think it impossible for me to start so soon; as I have not ever been to the Temple; and, also; I think being 26 years of age

Letter from William Budge, 7 November 1887

President W Woodruff Dear Bro Bro E. L Burgoyne of Montpelier called upon me yesterday, and desired me to write to you in relation to himself and the mission to which he has lately been called. He is an excellent young man, and anxious to go, but his Father upon whom he has been depending for his living thinks he cannot possably spare him untill spring, as the young man has had the care of stock and other interests that the father is not familiar with. Bro Burgoyne—the father—is one of our leading business men and although in his feelings and sympathies he is with the church, does not live up to his privileges in meny things, or he would make the way open for his son to go, he promised however to let him go in the spring. They had a rather serious altercation over the matter yesterday morning, the Boy having it seems sdeclared his intention to go anyway, but I told him I would write to you, and perhaps you would think it best for him to satay till spring and go with his fathers good feelengs. A word from you addressed to me on the subject at your earliest convenience will much oblige I remain very respectfully Your Bro Wm Budge

Letter from William Budge, 7 November 1887

President W Woodruff Dear Bro I returned from Blackfoot friday. Time of court last week taken up em- paneling U. S and territorial juries, and with other preparitory business. Trials commence this week. I will be at Blackfoot tonight. Can say nothing definate yet as to what may be done with the bretherin a number of whom from Bingham Co have pleaded guilty, they thinking the proof against them conclusive, and having no Laywyer or means to procure one. The general feeling about Blackfoot is friendly no sign of disrespect shown in any way which is quite remarkable. The Judge appears to be an exception, and the general expectation is that he will strictly enforce the law, and that he will be pleased to do it. I am very truly Your Bro Wm Budge
