Letter from Samuel R. Thurman, 17 August 1890
Provo City, Utah,
Pres. Woodruff.
Dear Bro. Just before the close of
our last legislature I was informed by Bro. Booth
that I was ecprested to call at your office at my
earliest convenience and consult in relation to a
contemplated mission I did so if you remember
a few days before the session closed and you said
something about deferring the matter until we
had more leisure. As I have heard nothing
I have been wondering lately if it was expected I
would call at this office. At this time I supposed
when you desired I would be notified and then
I could call without interrupting other business
My only object in writing is to inform you
that I am at any time subject to your wishes
in that regard I injured my eyes seriously last
Spring So that I am contemplating possibly a
trip to New York or London for treatment and I
feel if I do go out into the world it would please
me to put myself in a position to do as much
good as I can as a latter day Saint. I trust
