Letter from John Heber Fosgren, 12 October 1889
Pres. Wilford Woodruff
Dear Brother
Your communication
of the 9th at hand and found me
in a vaery unfavorable condition
to respond at present Being involved
that shoud I leave at designated
period would place others in
unfair circumstances this report
on my part being unavoidable I
would not wish to shirk the mission
but to ask an extension of time if
possible a year from next Fall or
Spring. The place appointed would
suit me were I able to speak or understand
the language. Your Bro. in the Gospel
John Fosgren. A. A. Janson. Bhp.
