Letter from Lewis Warren Shurtliff, 28 July 1890
Ogden
Prest Woodruff & Council
Dear Brethren
Replying to your favor of the 8th. After consulting
with ^the^ Bishops of the 4th & 5th wards Ogden in respect
to available missionaries for Holland. We find
that the most of the brethren from that country
are recent arrivals have hardly had time to
locate themselves and are very poor. There are
a few brethren who have been here longer, but
they have recently filled missions to that country
We submit the following names of brethren
with their circumstances &c.
1 William Kolderwyne is in circumstances that he
could go on a mission to his native land. But he
requires that the Bishop should take care of his
wife (he has no children) He wants it understood that
she must be well looked after if he should be called
on mission.
2 Benjamin Jensen is a native of Holland.
has a wife is in debt for his home &c If he goes
on a mission his wife will have to be supported
We think he would make a good missionary.
3 Albert Bell is also a native of Holland is at pre-
sent unmarried but expects to marry shortly. He
has a mother 72 years old lately from Holland who
is depending on him for support. He was a mission
ary in Holland for several years before coming to
