Letter from R. S. King Publishing, 10 October 1889

San Francisco, . President Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Sir: Sometime ago we forwarded a bill against Mr. N. Nel- son to our representative in Salt Lake City, Miss M. Glassford. Mr. Nelson was formerly in our employ, but left our services be- fore settling his debts, and went to Sweden to work as a missionary He wrote us from Sweden, an apology for so doing, but we think you will agree with us, this is not the proper way for men to pay their debts, and could not be used in licquidating any claims which we may have to pay. We believe Miss Glassford presented it to some of the officials who had charge of Mr. Nelson's work and they re- ferred her to you. Through a combination of circumstances iover which she had no controll, she was unable to see you at the time she expected, and hence we have thought it wise to drop you a note and present yout the bill. Miss Glassford has always spoken in highest terms of her treatment in Salt Lake City and has assured us many times that there would be no doubt of this obligation be- ing met as soon as it was placed before the proper authorities, and as we have exercised great patience in saying nothing of this matter for so long a time, we trust you will show your appre- ciation of this fact by giving this matter your personal super- vision, so that it may be liquidated at once. Will you kindly let h us hear from you by return mail, and state just what we may depend upon, for it seems to us that the time has almost come when patience has ceased to be a virtue, and we feel the matter should have prompt attention. This we feel sure you will give and hope to hear from you as requested. Yours truly, R. S. KING PUB. HOUSE. N. Nelson 50 Franklin Avenue went last April We cannot be responsible for everybodys debts.

Letter from Janne Mattson Sjödahl, 10 October 1889

Sir Whilst I acknowledge the receipt of your welcome letter I regret to say that that letter did not remain long in my possession thinking it would be but right that my friend Mr Sjodahl should read its contents so that two days after I had received it I gave it to him for that purpose but to my great disappointment I learned from him few days after that he lost it and that he could n't tell how it happened but I attributed its loss to his having been very much engaged with several of the latter day Saints who To Wilford Woodruff, Esqr [f] [De] [Dr] Salt Lake City Utah
