Letter from William Budge, 26 December 1888
President W. Woodruff
Dear Bro
Elder Olavus Jacobson of Randolph
Ward in this Stake has been notified by you in a letter
dated Dec 10th that he has been accepted as a Missionary
to Norway. Bro Jacobson is isa councillor to his Bishop—
A. Mckinnon who left home on Friday last for Ogden
to receive sentence for living with his wives. I have
not yet learned what his sentence has been, or how
long he may be gone, but even when at home he needs
the help of Bro Jacobson who is a very active and
usefull man in the ward. In the absense of Bishop
McKinnon the labors of Bro Jacobson will be of cource
much more necessary here.
Elder Jacobson is a good man and quite willing
to respond to any call, but I feel it to be my duty
under the circumstances to accquaint you with
the foregoing considerations, as I am anxious to keep
our local organizations as complete and effective
as possable. With complements of the Season
I remain very truly
Your Bro
Wm Budge
