Letter from Hans Joseph Nielson, 2 February 1889

Utah President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother Your notification of my appointment to a mission to the Northern States reached me to- day. In answer I desire to say that I have laid the matter before Apostles B. Young and J. H. Smith who are here and they think it would be better for my going to be postponed until next October, in view of the fact, that there is a strong probability of this county being set apart very shortly as a reservation for the Utes which would necessitate the breaking up ^of^ our settlement and compel our removal to some other locality At the same time I very willingly accept the appointment and desire to hold myself in readiness to comply with this and all other calls that may be made on me by those who are in authority over me in the priesthood. Bro Smith who will be in Salt Lake almost as soon as this letter can inform you fully in relation to our circumstances, and my feelings in regard to this matter Respectfully Your brother in the Gospel Hans.
