Letter from Anna Brita Olsdotter Hellstrom, 14 March 1889

Chihuahua Mexico Prest. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear Bro. I take the liberty of writing you in regard to my son John A. Hellstrom of Richfield Sevier Co. Utah. He has just lost his wife in childbed, and has three children left without a mother's care; and no relatives whatever around him. He is, I understand selected for a mission to Europe. I desire very much to assist him in looking after and rearing his children, and could be of much help to him if he was here with me. I am getting along in years and am not able to endure all the severe labor incident to a new country, and am here alone; and my son could be a help and comfort to me here. If it is not asking too much, could his mission be changed from Europe to Mexico, and he be appointed to labor in, and help build up the settlements of the Saints in this land and thus assist him and me in helping each other? Bro. A. F. Macdonald can give you any other information you may desire. Hoping to hear from you soon and favorably I am—Your Sister in the Gospel Anna B Hellstrom
