Letter from Jacob Thomas, 12 August 1890
Three Mile Creek
Pres. W. Woodruff
Dear Bro. The letter received
from you should and ought
to have been answered sooner.
But the information it contained
saying my name had been
suggested as a missionary to Great
Britain, caused me such a feeling
of sorrow and dread, on account
of a feeling to shun society, or of
being shy, nor never having been
away from home. You can judge
my feelings better then I can
explain them. But be it ever so
great a task, and although thinking
I can do no good. But to be obedient
I will try and be there, as stated
in the letter, if not otherwise notified.
Jacob Thomas ^Bp.^ C. A. Terry
