Letter from Gustav Adolf Ludwig Haag, 6 February 1890

Payson, Utah, President Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Dear brother: Your favor of Jan 30st was duly recieved. In regard to the call made upon me as a Missionary to Schwitzer- land and Germany I esteem it a great pri- velegde, and it is my earnest desire to res- pond to the call, but my circumstances are such to hinder me from going at that early date March 19th 1890. I have been building this last summer and been not able since to clear myself and owe at present some- thing over $400.00 I am not able to state how soon I can pay my debts, but would kindly ask you to postpone my call for future time and if you desire I can make a report or statement and ^at^ any

Letter from Ferdinand Friis Hintze, 6 February 1890

^^ President Wilford Woodruff & Councillors, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Brethern. In compliance with your request I cheer- fully place on paper my report of the Turkish mis- sion, and hope I may be able to so write as to give you a proper and comprehensive understand- ing of the work of the Lord in that part of His vineyard. I left Utah for my field of labor in Turkey on the first day of Nov. 1886 and arrived in Constanti ple on the 16th of Jan. 1887 remaining about 6 weeks in England in order to obtain a passport.

Tanner to the Armenian quarter of Stamboul there to live and study the Turkish language and to become better aquainted with ^the^ natives and their customs. I at once began studying the Turkish langu- age which I was quite successful in acquiring for the purposes required.

Shortly after, about Nov. 1887, Elder James Clove arrived, who after staying about 2 year became sick and was

Letter from Friedrich Dieterle, 6 February 1890

To the Ffirst Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints: Beloved Brethren, It becomes my painful duty to commnu- itcate to you the sor^r^owful news, that our dear Brother in Christ, and fellow laborer, Elder Edgar D. Simmons, departed this life day before yesterday, Tuesday, ^the^ 4th of February 1890 at 2 p.m. after sickness of 2 weeks, of which the last 8 days have been very painful. He died onf the small pocksx, his last moments, however, were peaceful. His voice began to fail him ^gradually^ during the last days of his sickness, and during the last day he was allmost unable to speak, but he was able to understand questions put to him. This is a sorrowful event for the whole Church of Jesus Christ as also for the relatives of the deceased, but it is a consolation to us all,
