Letter from Jens Peter Folkman, 12 February 1889
Ogden, Utah,
Prest. Wilford Woodruff
Salt Lake City
Dear Brother—Your communication
relative to my filling a Mission to Scandinavia
to start either on the 5th March, or the 9th or 30th
of April next, received, and fully noted.
In reply will say, I am engaged in the
Mercantile business, and could not wind
up my affairs by the 5th of March or even the
30th of April, but could arrange matters by
next fall, if you wish me to fill a mission then.
Do not infer from the above that I am
unwilling to respond, but my business ^is such^ are
such that I could not possibly go before
next fall.
I am getting on in years—am over 60 years
old, and my health is poor, but I am ever
ready to do my part in forwarding the Work
of the Lord.
Your Brother, J. P. Folkman
I fully endorse the above statement, being ac-
quainted with Bro. Folkman's condition. G. W. Bramwell, Jr Bp
