Letter from George Lionel Farrell, 3 January 1891

Smithfield Prest. W. Woodruff, Dear Brother: Enclosed please find Brother Lars E. Danielson's answer concerning his appointment. Bro Danielson is an excellent man and is willing to go anywhere for the Gospel's sake, but his circumstances are rather poor at the present time, he has been building him a house and is in debt, and has only one room fur[n]ished at present, and all he is able to finish this season. I think it would be wisdom to let him remain at home another year so as to enable him to finish his house and get out of debt. I would suggest the name of James Nielson in his stead, or Theodore Gyllingskog, both good young men and would make good missionaries. Very Respectfully your Brother, Geo L. Farrell
