Letter from Edward H. Anderson, 8 November 1890
Lorentzengade Nr. 14, 1. Sal. Kjebenhavn President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City. Dear Brother: I have just made a round tour of this mission, leaving here on Oct. 4th, and returning on the 3d of the present month. I have sent Prest. Young an account in detail of our conferences, and of matters as I found them. The work is progress- ing quite favorably in this mission, and especially do we find many in Northern Sweden who investi- gate the principles of the Gospel.

It almost gave one the blues to look in- to his sallow countenance, and not until he smiled & talked cheerfully could one eradicate, from his mind, the idea that, he was a much "enduring man." God go with him in his new field of labors. His kind heart and faithful labors have endeared him to the saints and they speak of him here as they spoke of him during my late visit to Mexico.
