Letter from John Mills Whitaker, 16 April 1890
47 South, First West Street. Salt Lake City, Utah, 18
President Wilford Woodruff
and Councillors.
Dear Brethren:
I am directed by the First Council of Seventies to lay
the following facts before you for your consideration and action:
On March 5th of this year we sent you a list of 15 names
recommednded, to us as worthy and prepared to go on missions by the
first of April. With this recommendation, we forwarded to you the
names, among which was one, Brother George W. Webster, of Kaysville,
whom, it seems, was recommednded, under a mistake by his Quorum Presi-
dents, as being ready to go. Brother Webster was today at our
meeting stating he had received a call to go to New Zealand, but
was totally unprepared, at the present time to go, but was willing
to go soon as his business relations could be brought to a satis-
factory termination.
Brother Reynolds knows something of the facts, and with these
statemesnts, we leave the matter in your hands to act as you deem
proper.
With Kind Regards,
I remain Your Brother,
John M. Whitaker.
Gen[eral] Sec[retar]y protem.
