Letter from Joseph Christiansen, 3 December 1890

Mayfield . President Wilford Woodruff. Salt Lake City. Dear Brother; Your favor of Nov. 26 th is recieved and carefully noted. In reply to the same I will say that I feel highly honered to be considered worthy of so great a calling as to preach the Gosple of Salvation. As to my circumstances if I should take a naturel view of them, it would seam almost impossible for me to go at the time you mention. not because I am so very poor financialy, but I am so mixed up in my business affairs, and considerable in debt, which will naturily take some time to settle up. Yet I do not feel to Justify myself in any way by making any excuse. I will be ready whenever the call is made on me, having full confidence that the way will be open for me. You will confer a favor by informing me, at your convenience, as near as possible, the time I will have to leave. Your Brother in the Gosple, Joseph Christiansen I would give him time and let him report when he is ready J. F. S.
